From set up to tear down, the QLD yarn fest was an absolute blast!! πŸ₯° Thankyou so much everyone who turned up to see us in Morayfield, it’s always such a special thing for me to get to see you all in person! πŸ’–πŸ’–

Huge thanks as well to Rebecca and the organiser team, the show was really seamless and you kept showing up to help out everyone whenever you could. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Also it was incredibly special for me to have my mum Helen with me for the first time. She’s actually a quilter, not a knitter, so I really threw her in at the deep end with having to learn a whole new electronic device, a new craft, and basically a new language for the weekend but we had a great time together and it was so much fun showing her my yarnie world. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

I did not manage to take many photos over the weekend but it was super special to have a visit with Helen Helen Stewart and Lisa Lisa Gray and snap a fun photo with the two Lisas and the two Helens πŸ˜‚

I also trialled out a new bit of stall kit -my adorable pink tool shelves! I think they showed off done of my larger tools more effectively than before but I'd love some feedback if you were there! How did you like my new stall set up? Could I improve access or anything else in my layout?

Did you have fun at the show?πŸ₯°

You can find me and all my goodies at stalls 41 & 42! I've crammed my car so full of fun tools and accessories for your knitting and crochet... and btw, there's tons of new stuff too! 🀩

As an added bonus, my mum has come on the trip with me! It's her first time to a yarn show, first time helping me out at a show and we're both so excited to see you all in QLD! πŸ’–πŸ’–

Can't wait to see you on the weekend!

I've just finished sewing up another big batch of lovely project bags for the QLD yarn fest this weekend! πŸ₯³ Just in time right? πŸ˜…

So what are the things that make my project bags so special?
🌸 Custom printed high quality fabrics with unique artwork
🌼 luxury metal hardware designed to last
🌸 Coordinating interior pocket with a light coloured lining
🌼 Different sizes for a range of different craft projects

I've also built up some great relationships with talented textiles pattern designers that do not use AI for their fabric artwork πŸ₯°

Have you got one of my project bags? What's your favourite thing about it?

See you in QLD!

Flora and Fauna seems to be a constant theme I keep going back to 🌡🌸😻 I love drawing inspiration from the natural world when developing my designs and collections.

All the knitting and crochet tools and accessories you could ever want, in gorgeous handmade designs πŸ₯°

Lots of these goodies will be coming with me to the QLD yarn fest next weekend! Yay! Will I see you there?

Things are busy busy busy in the studio right now while I prep for QLD yarn fest 😱

I'm sewing project bags, the laser is lasering, 3d printers are printing and all the goodies are somewhere between "almost done" and "sort of done". It's a weird time where nothing is quite finished but I know it'll all come together in the end! πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ₯°

I have quite a few new things to share so keep an eye out on my page! πŸ₯³πŸ€©

Are you planning to come to the Qld Yarn Fest?

I really wish I could tell you that I've spent the morning snuggling with Poppy and knitting my latest sock project but the truth of it is that I've spent most of my Saturday battling with one of my 3D printers 😭

Instead I'm dreaming of tucking myself in with my fluffiest baby girl, a cup of tea (why is it so cold today?) and this lovely project! 😍

I started these socks for sock week with Natalie aka Knitty Natty but since it coincided with my trip to Bendigo, I really didn't get very far on the knitting! They're still gorgeous though!

For a fun little pop quiz, who remembers when I made the pretzel stitchmarkers? πŸ₯¨

The yarn is from Samantha Schneyder | Slam Fiber Co. | Sam for Sock Week, and the pattern is my original design, the Saguaro Socks πŸŒ΅πŸ’–
