    Oh what a wonderful time you had. I really plan to make the effort to come next year. Only a longish bus ride or bus and train. I have visited the shop once and Michaela is lovely. Helpful, friendly and not pushy.. The yarn bomb was so well thought out. I miss my local yarn shop. We yarn bombed the street for a flower competition. Took months to make everything. Like A Modern Yarn it was a little friendly community. And you had to buy that yarn. Oh i have been crocheting for many years and just use the plain cheap hooks x

      Jane, oh do come next year and if I make it we can have a good old natter. What was extra special was listening to people talking about how delightful it all was. Some people had knitted in the past and they couldn't now for health reason and how they missed it. Others just admired all the hard work. Many many comments about how much Michaela and team have brought to village. xx

    What a beautiful day for knitting in public and yarn bombing! I enjoyed seeing all the creations. So clever.
    I prefer those clover hooks like you showed. I think you need to find ones that feel good in your hands.

    On Karen, wasn't the yarn bombing amazing!! I'd love to have seen it.
    I've been going to Freshfields since before I was born. I used to love playing in the dunes. Some very, very happy memories of going there within own children and grandchildren now too.
    We always used to love spotting the squirrels. We haven't been since 2019, I've just checked with my daughter. That is going to have to change and make a visit this year.
    The yarns are gorgeous. The alpaca banks look so snuggly.
    Can't air to see Jonny in the little top. xxJane

    Amazing and very clever well thought out yarn bombing! I just kept saying wow oh wow too! I wonder if some of the shops sponsor the event? Loved the shop and conversations outside.

      Well hello Jane from San Diego thank you for joining us, I'm an Essex girl too!!!! The talent was showcased off to its best adventage. It is all donated yarn and the ladies own yarn used to create the display. I just wanted you to imagine you were by my side and we were both going wow, wow. Truly inspiration crafting on show. So many people stopped to admire the work and discuss what had been made xx
