Yarndale 2018 - crocheters dream

This was my first trip to Yarndale and it exceeded all my expectations and beyond. I described the trip afterwards to my friends as unbelievably awesome, incomprehensible staggering!
I hope that at least some of my feelings as described above can be found below.

I had been following this event from the social media for few years and I remember thinking that some day I will go there. It was February when I decided that I think no more, I go! What a good decision that was! I asked my husband if he wants to go with me and he did.  So we traveled together to Yarndale.  I booked the accommodation in Skipton and flights to London already in March.

Crochet bunting

-
Image
I crocheted few wonderful buntings for our summer oasis. The pattern is called  Boho Bunting and designed by Emma @lululoves_uk .  Pattern can be found, for example from Ravelry. 

I used the Sweet Pea blanket yarns on two buntings. One of the bunting has darker colors and the other is lighter, more pastel one. I made tassels in two colors.

The third bunting is lovely pink. The yarn here is Drops Muskat (color 06) and hook 4 mm. The tassels are made with fuchsia.



I really really love these buntings!  The pattern was clear and easy and the design is just super lovely!
