<p> Well March had finally arrived , thank goodness , a couple of reasons to celebrate March, one I,m keeping quiet about , two, I have a week off work and we are going away in our caravan ,yippee</p>
<p>Do you like the daffodils , my mum bought me them ,</p>
<p>We should have gone for a long valentines weekend but due to the rain we had to cancel as the field was waterlogged , this time we are definately going not even snow will stop us.</p>

<p>I,ve been doing a few bits of crochet , but can't show the photos yet, I,ve started another baby blanket , the parents who had the last one wanted one all blue , and you can't do a granny blanket in one colour ( or can you) so I choose to use a bobble stitch and although I like the look of it , it's hard going </p>
<p>I,ve also dabbled with some more wet felting , I think I'm finally getting the hang of it , the ideas are limitless , once you've got the basic idea and it's very addictive , wet felted bowls anyone ?</p>

<p>I,m on the final book of the Harry potter readathon , and it will be a great wrench to finish them , although you want to finish reading them you want to take your time also, does that make sense ?</p>
<p>I had to share this photo of my grandson meeting Hagrid and Harry Potter, wish I could have been there. He might look a bit old to have a teddy bear but it was his turn to have the school mascot, called Patrick and this photo will be going in Patricks diary. </p>

<p>A nice start to Febuary.</p>
<p>Having dabbled in needle felting , not very successfully , i tried wet felting,</p>
<p>Bought a kit for felted balls from Yarndale , loads of fun , but I wanted to attempt something more 3 dimensional.</p>

<p>When this workshop was announced I was keen to go , the cost of £27 , slightly put me off , but why not spoil youself.</p>
<p>I took the last place on the course and thoroughly enjoyed it,</p>
<p>It was held at Knit and Stich in Doncaster, all materials and refreshments supplied</p>

<p> I'd highly recommend these workshops , it good to get a hands on experience with other like minded people , now a visit to Wentworth garden centre is a must to buy extra supplies </p>
<p>What else have been upto in January? Not a lot , only another crocheted baby blanket , they are very addictive. Found out it is going to be a boy , hence the blue border , I imagine it would have looked so different with a pink border.</p>

<p> Before photo, bought these skeins from Lisa, who owns fortheloveofyarn, I met her at Yarndale, and bought one of Lisa's handmade crochet hooks lovely wool, but look at the mess I've got them into , mind you it didn't help with taking them on holiday with us , just in case, </p>

<p> I just love how it winds yarn so easily and neatly .</p>
<p>This is the start of a new baby blanket for a friend .</p>
<p>So in between crocheting blankets and winding yarn ,, I've no time to go to work . </p>
<p>And I've finally overcome the linking up , I think it works </p>

<p>I was making plans to be there . Shall we go in our caravan or stop in a b&b for a change? Having been to skipton before ,I knew the caravan sites weren't close to town so we opted to stay 2 nights in a b&b.</p>
<p>I'd researched the event fully, making a note of which exhibitors I wanted to see and even the purchases I was going to buy , so armed with my pre bought yarndale bag off we set early on Saturday </p>

<p>To get stuck in traffic even tho we were only a mile away, I knew it was going to be big , but </p>
<p>Look what greeted us as we went in the main entrance, overwhelming , loads and loads of bunting , sent from all over the world .</p>

<p>The venue was absolutely packed , mesmerised by the amount of people ,you couldn't really take it all in .</p>
<p>I had a chance to talk to Lucy @ attic24, in the knit n natter lounge, I bet by the end of the day she was exhausted , there was a queue of people wanting to talk to her,</p>

<p>The queue for the food was miles long, the queue for the ladies even longer, as it is at every event , to say it was a success is an understatement </p>
<p>Needless to say I had to return again next day and how much more enjoyable it was to walk round and linger and look at each stall, loads of difference from the too busy day yesterday, it was a pleasure to be there, </p>
<p>Yarndale weekend coincided with the Puppet Festival, </p>
<p>I'll show photos from the puppet festival in my next post</p>
<p>I couldn't leave Skipton without a visit to The Studio</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Other lovely blogs are also posting photos of Yarndale so it's well worth visiting them to see more of the event and to see the yarn bombing in the park , Jacquie @ bunny mummy visited the studio in the morning </p>
<p>A well worthy end to September , a weekend to look back on for a long time </p>
<p> See you in October </p>

<p>Not thinking about the colours , just picking up my stash and adding to it, like how the white is working, every other row, I think that is how the difference in the colours is okay</p>
<p>Hope to keep this one for myself , but who knows</p>

<p>We have had a brilliant bank holiday weekend at Bakewell , I keep saying the weather definitely helps , Bakewell was very busy as so it should be for a bank holiday ,</p>
<p>Loads of crafty goodness getting done , made a few more bunting , I' d originally intended it for the marquee that we go in but why not adorn our caravan with it ,</p>
<p> </p>

<p> Out of our caravan window</p>
<p>Look at our early morning alarm call , 7.30 am , luckily I didn't have to go far to get these pictures , reminded of when we went up a few years ago, a brilliant experience , until it came to the landing that is .</p>

<p>There was a bear fair on at the showground and I just marvelled at the different types of bears and the detail gone into making them , </p>
<p>I.ve been doing a bit of cross stitching , a mini caravan , which I thought appropriate ,just to finish off the back stitching , then I think I might frame it , it's a Mouseloft kit ,( thanks Laura for the recommendation ) bought off amazon and somehow I ended up ordering two , what to do with the other one I wonder ?</p>

<p>All too soon our weekend was over and back to work on Tuesday </p>
<p>I had a sudden urge , as you do , to start another granny blanket , they are so satisfying to make , I'm just adding the colours randomly , as I go along </p>

Steph over at show and tell , had made a hobbit hole brooch for Laura and she very kindly offered to do a swap for a smiley purse </p>
<p>Here is the purse , slightly different from the first one </p>

<p> Hello Kitty on one side </p>
<p>And of course a smiley face on the other side</p>
<p>I made a strap for this and attached a hedgehog charm as a zip pull</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KCpkfeVUShs/UhVACDdeyhI/AAAAAAAAChw/zBMAS_WCFtQ/s1024/Photo%25252011%252520Aug%2525202013%25252020%25253A15.jpg" target="_blank" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KCpkfeVUShs/UhVACDdeyhI/AAAAAAAAChw/zBMAS_WCFtQ/s500/Photo%25252011%252520Aug%2525202013%25252020%25253A15.jpg" id="blogsy-1377124476192.1936" class="alignright" alt="" width="305" height="409"></a></div>
<p> Along with the purse , I enclosed a cat toy for moonpie and treats for Tudor , a keep calm and eat chocolate note pad and a crocheted flower </p>
<p> The purse was filled with a few crafty goodies and I also sent a small tin of sweets which I had bought in France </p>
<p> </p>

<p>Well , as you can see , these all deserved their own post , and I hope I haven,t missed any out , forgive me steph if I have , I also wanted to practice linking up but as this is a second attempt at this post ( the first one was almost done then it went all haywire and for some reason I couldn't, edit it )</p>
<p>So now I,ll publish and leave linking up for later, I have provided links to show and tell (steph's blog ) in an earlier post after having to resort to my laptop </p>
