On Saturday we went up to Builth Wells to the Royal Welsh Showground where I attended my first ever WonderWool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As well as all of the yarn I was really pleased to see some sheep<\/p>\n

There were also some Angora rabbits there but I didn’t see them.<\/p>\n

I also recorded a couple of audioboos while I was there, you can hear the first – an interview with Chrissie Menzies, one of the organisers – here<\/a> but the second one that I did with Lynne Seymore of Calon Yarns seems to have been eaten after it failed to upload a few times \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Of course I bought a few things while I was there including this fab WonderWool charity bag in aid of the Air Ambulance<\/p>\n

I’d been after the new Ysolda pattern book for Fyberspates Scrumptious yarns for a while so I got that plus three skeins of the aran in Empire Biscuit and one skein of aran in Sugar Mouse.<\/p>\n

Delicious goodies from Fyberspates<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve already wound one of the skeins and cast on for the Almond Comfit beret.<\/p>\n

A set of stitch markers and some lovely new darning needles<\/p><\/div>\n

Some buttons which didn't photograph well<\/p><\/div>\n

It was a great show and so big! It’s just really nice to have something like this in Wales rather than having to travel further afield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
