Nash Yarn Fest

Nash Yarn Fest Poster, from Hatch Show Print

We had quite the time at the first ever Nash Yarn Fest, and it sounds like it will happen again next year. Sweet!

I had such a fabulous time chatting with so many knitters, listening to speakers and musicians, and shopping of course.

I succumbed to the lure of the Julia Hilbrandt’s felted wool bags, and bought this tote bag. The sheep is an exterior pocket, and there are two interior pockets. I chose this shade of gray because it won’t show cat hair (such is my life). Julia customized the bag with the blue tiara for my sheep, perfect.

I was so pleased to meet Tammy Pelfrey from A Chick that Knitz in person. She’s the dyer that dyed the yarn for my Starstruck Shawlette that I’m wearing in this picture. If you look between us, there’s a Starstruck WIP hanging above a Starfall cowl.

A little more yarn came home with me; I guess I’m not quite done with assigned pooling yet.

I posted a lot of pictures on Instagram; you can find them here.

DH came with me on this trip, so we saw some music and knocked around town a bit.

Thanks Nashville; we’ll be back!
