Ali I couldn’t take my eyes off the crochet shawl on the back of your chair! Just beautiful 😍

What a nice husband to take you to a yarn festival.

Thank you so much for this fun Yarn Show video, Ali! Love your knitted chicken. Happy stitching! 🧶🎉

I don’t think Florida, has any yarn shows, so I really enjoy your UK yarn tours. I made a bucket list, and visiting the uk is on the list, but it would be wonderful to see a yarn show while I’m visiting. I have watched your channel for a long time and you never disappoint thank you, for sharing your time,please, say hello to Dan and the girls as well.❤

Are you in FL? I recently moved here and I can’t find any yarn festivals! I’ve googled so much and nothing. I did find one called Orlando Distaff Day but it was the one weekend I was away! I’m pretty surprised!

I lived close enough to Rhinebeck to go every year and many more in my area so I’m sad there’s nothing around here.

I live in S.W. Florida a we don’t even have a true yarn shop in our town or area.Have to resort to the “big” craft stores or shop on line 😥

Thank you so much for sharing my podcast! It was so lovely to meet you and to chat! The show was wonderful and I loved watching it back again via your vlog - thank you 😊I am absolutely going to make myself an emotional support chicken too! Xx

Loved this video, as always, hope Dan is feeling better. Sorry to hear about Cloud.RIP Cloud, fly free in the sunshine angel. ❤

Thank you for showing us the festival and for linking all the podcasters. It will be such a treat to get to know their channels.

It was SO wonderful to meet you, thank you for such amazingly kind words!

I am not able to go to your delightful yarn festivals. I love your videos of them, you don't rush and your joy at being there comes thru. Thank you for sharing.

I am so sorry to hear of Clouds passing. I know how hard it is to lose a pet.

Seeing all those yarn colours, minis, balls and assorted notions, is to me like being a kid in a candy shop. So so hard to decide, overwhelming almost.

Such a fun outing!! So nice that Dan went too and you had a night away!! So enjoyed meeting all the wonderful folks you encountered and seeing all the scrumptious yarn!!! 🥰🧶♥️🧶🥰

Thank you so much for sharing and letting us live vicariously through you.

That looked so fun! I spotted some Wonderland yarns there. I'm fortunate to be able to get those from one of my local yarn stores and I am OBSESSED! One of these days I need to get across the pond and check things out over there!

Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us Ali. So inspiring. I had a little chuckle when I saw your amazing chicken bag as, all the way over here in West Australia I had made myself a project bag out of the mustard colour way of the same chicken pattern! Would attach a photo for you but can’t see how to do it 😂

A fantastic vlog and tour! It was lovely to meet you and thanks for my little interview with my needle felts! Here's to next year xx

It was lovely to meet you and Dan at the show! It was a great event wasn't it. Thank you for sharing my work 🥰

Oh no, not Cloud! I am so sorry for your loss. Phoebe must have been so sad. Really enjoyed the video, thanks, Ali!

Absolutely lovely speaking to you and Dan at the show. You have some lovely purchases and I picked up the same curated yarn co. skein of The Great buying it on the Aran base. There was so much to see that I didn't get to all the vendors either.

I am so gutted that I missed this festival I only just found out it existed from your video! Definitely going to get tickets for next year if I can help it ❤

Thank you for bringing us along , great vlog ❤

Such a positive video) Thanks a lot!

Hi Ali, a wonderful podcast as always! I'm going to the Islington Stitch festival this Saturday☺. It is local to me and my first ever such event so I'm really excited!

Im so disappointed that I’ve never heard of James Makes Yarn before. All of his colour ways are so beautiful and bright. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us ❤

Wonderful vlog Ali, I will be ordering and spending lol. I loved it seeing it all- I shall check and see how far it is from Devon ! And…..I’m going to watch it again tomorrow just incase I missed anything. I bought the pompom maker a few years back. Xx

Ali and Dan, thank you both for sharing this wonderful festival with your viewers. I would be in color sensory heaven to see all that beautiful yarn and bags and other goodies gathered in one space. It would be hard to decide what to buy. I’m glad to see the emotional support chickens riding to the occasion. I have started my first one, and I am loving it. It’s so much fun to go on a yarny adventure with you. ❤️😊☘️

Oh Ali! What fun and thank you so much for taking me along with u to the yarn show.❤🇺🇸

How lucky you are to have such great yarn shows in the UK. That support chicken is adorable and so thoughtful! 🧶

Oh no Ali! How did I miss you telling us about Cloud, maybe you posted it on instagram or some other media platform? I am not connected to any of those. I am so sorry, did she become poorly? It’s sad, you gave her a beautiful life 🧡 you did a sterling job at the festival, you know so many people! Your knitted chicken is gorgeous, Love & Hugs, Suze. 🤗🐓🥰 xxx

I mentioned it on Instagram but will talk a bit more on the vlogs. She just woke up one morning, was fine, and then died :(

Thank you Ali for taking those of us unable to come to the East Anglia Yarn Festival!! What an amazing job you did showing all the vendors and their beautiful wares!! Thanks to you, I am now following a few more yarn dyers and makers!! Well done!!

Thanks for taking us along with you; I really enjoyed seeing the people you met, and the sample knits. Both your Alice bags are very special

Thank you for taking us to the EAYF. I always love looking around the wonderful stalls selling all the gorgeous goodies! So nice to see the other podcasters too! I’m glad you had a great time and managed to get some things for yourself. Take care x

Thank you so much for taking us with you and sharing EVERYTHING! 😀 I feel like I was there, which is very cheering because I had to cancel my long-awaited trip to the Portland (Oregon, USA) Rose City Yarn Crawl last week. 🥀 Now, I’ve seen lots of beautiful yarn and I, almost, don’t miss the squishing… 🥰🧶🌻

So nice to see everyone together, with all the smiles and laughter 😅🧶💫

Looks like a great show. I made the Giddyquin Cowl sample for Helen, it's always so odd seeing it at shows, especially seeing as I have never been to a show myself 😅

Yay!! The EAYF video I've been waiting for!! ❤❤ I was so distracted by your nails Ali - they kept reminding me of when we were kids and used to stick blue tack on our nails and pretend it was nail varnish 😂😂.

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk around ❤ thanks for sharing. Have followed so many people I hadn’t heard of before! So sorry to hear about Cloud 😢 xx

This was so great. I’ve never made it to a fiber arts festival. Your interaction with all the vendors is fabulous. Thank you.

I just adore Paula! She is so lovely and kind hearted.

Aw lovely Paula ❤️ So happy I got to meet her in person!

Thank you for another wonderful video! I really enjoy seeing different places around our big wonderful world. You always have cheerful fun videos & Dan always makes me laugh😅

It looked like a great time! So much crafty and yarn goodness! Dan is such a great sport to go along with you. I look forward to watching some new podcasters from the links below! Thank you for taking the time to share your weekend. It was a lot of fun to watch! Happy belated Mother's Day!

So much fun watching how much fun you and Dan had at the festival! Loved it all! 💜💚💙💛🤎

Many thanks for showing us your visit and also for the comprehensive list of links you have added. It must have taken you so long to do this and I am really grateful.

I love your tours of yarn festivals, and I am always shocked by your restraint in not purchasing EVERYTHING you see! I am extremely excited -- I am coming to the Southern Wool Show in September. I cannot wait and luckily have a few months to figure out how I'm going to get my purchases home!! Thanks for taking us along.

Good to see y'all again thanks for taking me with you I know you had a great time all the yarn was beautiful and I love the bags

Your yarn festival videos are the best! Peace and Blessings from Maryland, USA! 🧶

Thank you for taking us to the festival, such pretty yarns. Love your chicken!

Thank you so much for sharing! As I live in the US all I can do is experience this show vicariously. I do plan on going to the Southern Comfort Fiber Festival in Charlotte, NC this summer. Take care and enjoy your purchases. And thank you Dan for being such a good yarn enabler!

It was so lovely to see you and Dan, thank you for the mention xxx

Brilliant Ali. Next best thing to being there. Lovely to see so many familiar faces.

Love your podcasts. So fun to watch this vlog. Sorry to hear about cloud. Glad though Dan went with you and you got to stay for both days so fun. What a fun hour to watch.

Thank you for this time. Very nice to follow you in the yarnfestival. I,m from Sweden and have not followd you earlier. I Will listen to you even next time.

This was the funnest yarn festival I've never been to! Thank you for taking us along. I'm excited to check out many new UK based makers. ❤

fantastic time!! loved it. so much beautiful yarn - i couldn't decide what to get. wow!! amazing.

Ali, Ali!❤ You are such a gift to us...the time and care you take with this knitting show vlog is extraordinary. I feel like I was there with you and Dan...such a treat to actually see the yarn and hear from the makers and podcasters! Wonderful! Thank you so much!❤

I came to the show on Saturday, i walked there as i actually live in Easton. Easton is the village where the Showground is situated. I bought a beautiful tote bag from lovely Alex Collins, 3 skeins of yarn and 4 pom poms from The crafty Bird. Sorry i missed you Ali, it's a lovely festival and all the more special for being on my doorstep x

This is so wonderful to watch, and it is such a happy vlog. ❤. Thank you very much, Ali and Dan. By the way you look nice in that jumper...lovely pattern too. The colour goes very well with your hair colour. Glad you got to go and share it with us.

My first ever yarn festival on the Sunday @ EAYF it was the most amazing time for me & my daughter ❤

Well that was wonderful .. Thank you Ali and Dan :)

Thank you for a lovely episode🥰 if you would ever be interested in doing a swap with some of your destash sock yarn with me here in Denmark I would love to do it and send you some sock yarn dyed here in Denmark🥰

Fabulous! So fun, and Dan is such a good sport!

I loved todays video and watching you and the hubby having a good time 😊

Wow! what a wonderful event! Thanks for showing all that the EAYF had to offer. I now have a long list of blogs, websites etc to investigate! ☺ You did show a lot of restraint - I think I would have come home with bags of yarn!

So good to relive EAYF weekend! xxx

So yarn fantastic!! Thank you for sharing everything!! I think I may have to plan a trip for next year. So many wonderful new friends to follow on their podcasts or Insta. Dan I hope that you had a great time and are recovered from the weekend. Love lots. 🙂💕🌻🦘

I was gutted to see all the vlogs the week after this show, as I live in Norfolk! Didn’t see anything about it coming up!

It was lovely to meet you and Dan. EAYF was my very first yarn festival and I'm off to another one at the beginning of April with my eldest daughter at Chipping Sodbury

What a fantastic way to spend Mother’s Day Ali. Such a lovely podcast and thanks for taking us with you. The next major wool show for me is the Bendigo Sheep & Wool Show (In Australia) in July. My friends and I catch the train which is a 3 hr trip each way but we get to knit/crochet on the train and have a great laugh 🧶

What a lovely vlog! It was wonderful to meet you ❤️ What a fab haul!! xx

I use to make a b c blanket or checker

Sorry to hear about Cloud! 🎉 What a fabulous yarn show and vlog. Thanks for taking us along.

Lovely tour, thank you. Hope to see you at Newbury in September but I’ll be too chicken (‘scuse the pun) to say hello.

Two fab yarn show weekends. I had one here too.....I may have bought a skein or three 😀 Love your chicken, oh I love all of your bits and bobs. Thank you for taking us along xx

Thankyou for a wonderful tour of the yarn show.

What a fun tour! I enjoyed watching from my cosy bed in upstate New York, USA.

Thank you for showing us all the lovely things.

❤ali!!!!thank you so much !!!!that felt like being there!!!🎉🎉 Such fun!!! Loved all ur purchases!!!!❤ Especially the fun chicken gift!!! May have to make one!!!! Elaine 🏠💕 Sorry about sweet cloud😢

That was fabulous - thank you so much both of you. I have been looking forward to seeing this since I knew you were going. How ultra kind is James for making you the perfect bag. Now looking forward to your next vlog. ❤

Thanks for taking us with you 😊 I did make it along but following the various vlogs and Insta posts I have bought a Left Hookery basket kit and some of Vicki Brown's Norfolk themed yarn

Thank you for sharing all of this - I am living vicariously through you as I wasn't able to go this year. Hopefully I'll see you there in 2025!!

Absolutely loved the great job you did Ali on taking us with you to the yarn festival & showing us around. 😍. I thought you did an amazing job especially remembering everyone’s name 😇. I also loved the sweater that you wore on the first day & wasn’t sure if you knitted it or not 🤔. Also, I thought you were very good at restraining yourself from buying heaps of yarn, as it looked too good to resist, in my opinion! Cheers & well done & I wish this podcast was even longer 🤗. 🥰👏❤️💕😍

Thankyou for taking us around the show 😊

Thanks for showing us round. Makes me want to go next year😊

The Alice fabric is by Tula Pink called Curiouser and Curiouser - it’s beautiful and quite expensive. Love it.

Loved it thanks for taking us along

I want some yarnlings!! They are just too cute! This is the best festival footage I have seen! Thanks for taking us along with you. I couldn't get to the festival because we are going on holiday in a few weeks and I need to save my pennies for that, maybe next year.

That was such fun! Thank you

Thank you Ali for such a fun podcast of the festival. It looks like you and Dan had a blast. All the goodies and squishies looked to tempting. I hope to go one day. I can also hear my bank account crying already. 😄 This year I'm going to the new festival in Edinburgh. The Woolly Good Gathering at Summerhall. So excited, I can't wait for April 26th. 😍 You should come to one of the festivals up here in Scotland. The Scottish Yarn Festival and the Glasgow School of Yarn come to mind. Thanks again Ali for another wonderful podcast. ❤️

Gosh I wish I could have gone with you! Looks like such lovely people and gorgeous yarn. My country doesn't really have yarn festivals that I know of, some hand made events with a bit of yarn, but not like this one. Glad you and Dan had such a lovely time! ❤

Loved this❤❤

Another great vlog and tour of the show, I was there the Saturday. But when I watch vlogs back, I realise how much I still missed! I was very good this year. Brought a skien from blue fern yarns and a skien from pixie yarns..❤ her yarns, and of course as the crafty bird was opposite her I couldn't resist a pom pom to match. Its there waiting for me once I'm feeling more up to it, I had my surgery on Thursday and have definitely been feeling very sore, tired, and in a lot of pain since. Had 2 spend 2 nights in hospital, but home now resting in bed listening to my body so I can get back to crafting ASAP! There's a crochet version of the emotional support chicken I might have to make one to see me through the next few weeks. Look forward to your next vlog 😊 xx❤

Thank you Ali for a wonderful look around the yarn show. It looked amazing. I would love to go to that show one day. The next yarn show that I'm going to visit is the one at Buxton and I can't wait. xxx

What fun! ❤❤❤

Thank you for taking us round the EAY show with you. I'm so looking forward to Wonderwool next month 🧶what a gorgeous chicken... I need a crochet version of this pattern me thinks 🐔😍 thanks as always for your cheery vlogs, lots of love Hannah x

I really enjoyed your podcast and seeing all those familiar faces of the other podcasters. And when you were talking about the beautiful Alice in Wonderlandbags I suddenly remembered I recorded the Alice through the looking glass film which was on the BBC today. I’ll be watching that later this evening 😀. Love from the Netherlands!

What a place. Look at the yarn. Omg gosh I would be be out a lot of cash. Great video. Ty

Really great being along for the ride all the way from NYC.

Thank you so much for sharing!! It's so fun to watch all the way from the other side of the world (Australia). I went to a yarn show here yesterday but was absolutely rubbish at remembering to film things.

I enjoyed that so much. You did an amazing job. Thank you so much.❤
