A fortnight in pictures

It's been a busy few weeks for Rachel, with a visit to the USA's largest needlework trade show, TNNA, followed by an amazing time at the Squam Art Workshops in New Hampshire (I'm SO jealous!!). Here's her trip, and what she's been up to since her return, in pictures...

The kits for all 3 of my collaborations with @vickibrowndesigns are in the shop now (link in bio) - you will get 2 skeins of Socks Yeah, a beautiful hand dyed mini from Vicki and a pattern for knitted and crocheted socks
SO EXCITED to be teaching at the inaugural FYBRE 🔥 FEST - from the organisers website: The world’s most exclusive knitting festival. A private island in the Orkneys. Luxe accommodation in custom built crofter’s cottages. Your very own
I’m at H&H in Cologne with @fyberspates and @chesterwool until Sunday so if you’re coming don’t forget to say hello!
Ready for day two at @edinyarnfest , here’s another of the kits that @vickibrowndesigns and I have collaborated on, don’t forget - if you can’t make it to EYF the online shop is open and if you use code EYF shipping is free on order
If you can’t make it to Edinburgh this weekend, the online shop is open and if you use the code EYF you’ll get free shipping on orders over £10 (link in profile to shop)
I’ve got amazing patterns from @knittingandgin including VOLT and VOLT MINI ME - knitted using Socks Yeah DK #edinburghyarnfestival #eyf2019
so excited to unveil my collaboration for @edinyarnfest with @vickibrowndesigns - we’ve put together these kits with 2 skeins of Socks Yeah, a hand dyed mini from Vicki and both a knitted and crocheted sock pattern - come and see us A9 and J1
If you’re a self patterning sock yarn collector like me, it might interest you to know that Opal have launched a range inspired by Monet paintings and they are amazing (I bought mine from @woolwarehouse in the UK)
Got distracted from unpacking after @unravelfestival by these @violaemily minis in my stash, maybe winding them is the perfect way to decompress after such a busy, joyful weekend
If you’re at @unravelfestival this weekend you MUST go and see these incredible jumpers by @katiejonesknit - completely inspiring and amazing (come and see me too, I’m in the Great Hall)
I have spoken about this in my stories but I’m making a less ephemeral post. It really does feel like we have seen a sea change in past few weeks, the knitting community exists in wider society so everything that exists in that society is also
Grellow 4 life. Want some warm, cosy DK socks? Book and yarn bundles are in my shop, this is Zlonk

Don't forget to enter the CoopKnits in Public competition over in Rachel's Ravelry group, where you can find the full details. The competition closes next Monday.
