Nicola from TwinkKnits
It started a few weeks ago where I interrupted an on line craft britannia chat where 2 crafters were talking about meeting up in York for lunch. I butted in to say "hey" I live near York , can I come along too?
It wasn't until a few days later when I realised that the 3 of us were knitters and I thought we MUST do something a little bit special , not just talk about Etsy or just about crafting , but do something knitting related. That's where our yarn bonkyness started.
But first we needed ......... cake
The cake was delish. I had the carrot cake , ate the lot as it sounded so healthy.
We chatted around knitting patterns , our web sites , selling wholesale , selling knitting patterns , our favourite yarns , headbands , tea cosies , getting freebies and cake !
Nicola showed off one her crochet bags (yes , not just a knitter)
and we moved on to the Museum Gardens eyeing up the right place to do our yarn bonkyness.
Well , why do I call our Yarn bombing antics "yarn bonkyness"? you might ask.
Well firstly Nicola , when she was typing this into her phone , her phone turned it into "yarn bonking" ooops , so that sort of stuck when we talk about it and secondly , because it was our very first time , with no prep work , no knowledge of where we were going to do it and no knowledge of what each of us brought along , then it was all a bit bonkers.
We picked a place just outside the gardens on the side of the river , with people walking past and boats mooring up yipes.
and we hung our tributes up on the railings.
a mix of femininity from me TheFeminineTouch , pink chunky knitted lace and pretty chunky flowers.
Funky knitted foodstuffs from TwinkKnit Nicola and traditional knitting swatches and pretty bunting from All Needles Great Em.
and will there be a next time .......... we hope so ! stay tuned !
