Thank you so much for sharing your Bendigo experience. I'm living vicariously through as many podcasters who went this year as I can. Your purchases look amazing! (Can't wait to see what you turn your Oyster Yarn Rose Gold into!!!)
You are so welcome Catherine and thank you for watching and your lovely comment! I think it will be a beautiful shawl... maybe I can wear it to next years sheep show 🤞
Thoroughly enjoyed reliving the 2024 show. It’s like Christmas in July … for all the fibre goodness. Your haul was amazing. Adore your Love Note sweater the yarn colour is beautiful ❤
Yay - it was so good to relive the experience of each day through your purchases 🥰 so happy I enabled such a strong stack of yarny goodness 😂 I agree, it was a magical experience ❤❤ and you articulated the friendships and connections we created so well! Also…donuts!!!!!!!!
So glad you had such a wonderful time,Aleks.👌Thankyou for sharing .Im not sure which would be more overwhelming..seeing a pod of podcasters and designers in one space or trying to see and support the 350 stallholders...and shake hands with the 5 K farmers.Will be wonderful to see your knits.Have a great week 🙏❤️👋xx
Great podcast - thank you. Did you know that the Bendigo show is the largest one in the world. Thought our Northern Hemisphere friends should know😄. I missed it this year so lovely to watch your podcast. Best wishes from Melbourne.
We are so lucky to have this event! I made sure to include that its the biggest show of its kind in the world on my instagram post, wish I'd remembered to say it when I was recording too!
I can feel your joy! Thank you for sharing. Yes! I feel the same way just before during and after visiting the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. It’s held every year during the first full weekend in May. As you said it is such a great feeling that it can last and last. 🥰
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I don't think I mentioned that one of my housemates had to sit on my suitcase after the second day to fit the few extra bits to fit in and be able to close it! 😂
What an amazing haul! You really have a talent for picking gorgeous yarn and coordinating them all so well! It was great meeting you and I’m excited to see what you will create! ❤
It was so wonderful to meet you Ash! I can't wait to hear all about your experiences and see your footage, I know you were much better than me at capturing the actual event!
Hi Ally. I'm a knitter from South Island, NZ & have recently discovered you & a few other Australian podcasters. Thankyou for sharing your Bendigo experience. A friend & I put together a new knitting/yarn event in April in our local town of Rangiora, Knit & Gather North Canterbury. We had two NZ pattern designers, Libby Jonson, Truly Myrtle & Lisa Craig, Lisa F Design teach classes on two days then had a traders day on the third day. We were thrilled with the response & already have plans for weekend of 28th to 30th March 2025. There are several Truly Myrtle three skein shawls that your yarn would work beautifully. Happy Knitting Barbara Hawker.
Hi Barbara, thank you so much for your lovely comment. It sounds like your event in April was just wonderful! Thank you for sharing about that and the truly myrtle pattern options, I’ll have a look! Happy knitting!
Just now catching up on Bendigo podcast episodes. it was so good to see your yarn posse at the show, and thanks so much for sharing the selfstriping you got from me!
Yay, so glad you're catching up on the Bendigo episodes Danni! It was amazing to see everyone at the show, and to meet you! Your self-striping yarn is gorgeous-I had to share it! Thanks so much for being part of the fun and for creating such beautiful yarn. Hope to see you at the next one! 😊🧶

Awesome podcast Your joy ooooozing through the screen I missed it this year but your podcast captured and expressed all the feelings fibre friendships and community Thank you so much for sharing and enjoy the high and all those beautiful memories and purchases 💜🧶
Dear Ally, Thank you for this lovely recap of your adventures at Bendigo, It was so much fun reliving it through your eyes. I hope one day I can do the same and come and see it and who knows? may be even meet you, wouldn't that be lovely! What a fantastic idea to share a house with your knitting friends! I can only imagine how much talking and excitement happened! Lucky you! Looking forward to the next episode with all your makes, Much love from New Zealand, Marina
Bendigo is an amazing experience and the yarn and craft vendors just seem to expand every year. Hope to bump into you next time Ally 😊 The Bendigo back room is well worth checking out. I got some bargains at the Wangaratta wool mill (now owned by Bendigo) on the way to Canberra 🥰
It was so good and I am so looking forward to going again! It would be wonderful to meet you in person Bernadette and yes, I love that back room, something new to find every time you turn around it seems! I will add the Wangaratta wool mill to my travel wish list too!
Oohh Ally that was tremendous, you are exuding happiness and pleasure .I hope maybe I can visit there . Those hot jam donuts looked totally decadent and fabulous. You selected some fabulous yarn. I really loved that pink from the back room of the Mill you got. Would love that for Ami Lowden's Mayberry cardigan.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Shirley! Oh yes, that pink yarn would make a glorious Maybury cardigan! I did my test knit for Amy in the luxury 8ply, but the halo and drape of this yarn would be perfection! I do hope you can experience Bendigo at some stage, it a feast for the senses and such a wonderful treat!
❤❤❤ally,,,,,i can feel and see your excitement from here🎉🎉🎉 Such a great time,,, Just going to watch kath now,,,, Such wonderful yarns,,,friends,,,,knitting ,,,what could be better,,, I actually won some louie and lola yarn ,,,,, Snd wow,,,,just keep looking at it,,,not sure yet ,,,what i will do ,,,,with it,,, Elaine ❤️🏠
Oh fantastic Elaine, congratulations on the win, you will love knitting with Karina's amazing yarn! Thank you for watching and your lovely comment as always, it means so much to me 🥰
How fun !! I’ve been to 2 fiber festivals in my area DFW fiber festival and East Texas fiber festival. Really enjoying your podcast and beautiful knits. I’m currently working on a fall cross stitch project but still want to knit all the things too!!
Lovely to briefly bump into you at Bendigo. You got so many amazing things! The i-cord maker is from Cat and Sparrow. She makes a lot of 3D printed tools including turkish drop spindles. I was tempted by the i-cord maker but I had already gone way past my budget by the time I saw it.
Oh thank you for letting me know. I've just found them on Insta and will link to them in the description now! It was so wonderful to see you too and well done to you for being better at not exceeding your budget further!
Hi Ally, thank you for a such an informative, inspiring episode. I definitely am going to try to find a way to attend more Australian fibre events. Early 2025 might be the time to visit Adelaide, my birthplace. Happy making. Judy, Nelson Bay, NSW
Thank you so much for watching and your lovely comment Judy! Fibre events are so amazing, I am always so inspired and its so good to meet other makers! If you're thinking of coming to Adelaide, Fibre Feast is scheduled to be held the first Sunday of March in 2025 fibrefeastsa.com/
Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm definitely going next, said to my Husband we are going to it next year😂, it's good to hear about all the South Australian yarn dyers we have, I'm from SA too, I leave in Strathalbyn.
So lovely to re-experience our amazing weekend together in Bendigo. I've been wanting to record, but I've been sick the last few days. Now though I've brought out all my yarn and will record my episode soon. What about the Rosehips shawl for a three colour shawl? It was so wonderful to see you again Ally.
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been unwell Jane and hope you recover quickly! Yes, your Rosehip shawl would be perfect for those yarns! Thank you for an amazing few days together, it was so wonderful to see and hug you again! I loved that we got to wear our Gumnut Cardigans together too and can't wait to share more about that in my usual FO round up next episode!
I think leachim will be at the Mintaro fibre festival in September. Went a couple of years ago and it was part of the Clare Valley Festival of the lamb. Adore their yarn. My Last years SWMystery is using this yarn 😊
That’s how I feel about flock in Seattle and also sacred sheep in Portland, Oregon. That’s always an option for a US one if you want a tour guide of the Pacific Northwest 😉
Thank you Aleksandra for sharing your first ever Bendigo experience! I hope that there will be many more for you. I’ve been going for about 12 years now, and as a vendor I don’t get much of an opportunity to see the rest of the Show. I rely on videos and photos like this to get my Bendigo fix 😊🧶💖

I was so happy to see so many local to me vendors and producers! You're not far from me at all Corinna!

I cannot believe that I missed this festival!!!!! I will def be at the next one. 😊
I just checked the dates and it will be on between the 19th and 21st July next year! 🙌
@@FibreBound Locking it in right now!!!!
🥳
I think leachim will be at the Mintaro fibre festival in September. Went a couple of years ago and it was part of the Clare Valley Festival of the lamb. Adore their yarn. My Last years SWMystery is using this yarn 😊
Thank you for letting me know Lynne and for sending me the details!
That’s how I feel about flock in Seattle and also sacred sheep in Portland, Oregon. That’s always an option for a US one if you want a tour guide of the Pacific Northwest 😉
I've added those to my wishlist too! It would be amazing to meet you Nicole and to visit your beautiful part of the world!
I am such a half baked hand dyed fangirl that I have socks in both of those colourways that you bought 😂
They're so good aren't they Elina! I can't wait to knit them up!
Leachim is pronounced “Leah-sim”. It’s glorious yarn though!
Oh wonderful, thank you for letting me know, and yes, it really is so nice, I can't wait to knit with it!
I wish your slide show had been a tiny bit slower ☺️
I kind of wish I had slowed it down a bit too, it was definitely faster than I’d intended it to be originally. Thank you for the feedback ☺️
Thank you Aleksandra for sharing your first ever Bendigo experience! I hope that there will be many more for you. I’ve been going for about 12 years now, and as a vendor I don’t get much of an opportunity to see the rest of the Show. I rely on videos and photos like this to get my Bendigo fix 😊🧶💖
Thank you so much Julie for your lovely comment! It was so lovely to meet you at the show too!
