Plus a bit of color work in the form of both a WIP and an FO. Alyson meanwhile is trundling along with her not so sage Sage shrug.

Both Vivian and Alyson have a new project on the go, but no finished objects to speak of... that's because we were too busy on a little family vacation. We spent a few days on the Isle of Arran and had the best time, so do excuse us for having a little chat about that.

WE'RE IN AMSTERDAM! Somebody pinch me... So we find ourselves in the Netherlands together, and what a wonderful trip it has been. It is both of our first time in Amsterdam, so there's been much sight seeing and admiring of canals and buildings. But we couldn't help recording a short episode together. It's a bit light on the crafty content, but we did visit a few yarn shops (and not just Stephen & Penelope).

It's an extra extra extra special episode. Not only are we together again (twice in two months!), but we're together in Rhinebeck, home of the yarn famous New York State Sheep & Wool Festival! We had an amazing time together, and with our Rhinebeck housemates. The Sheep & Wool Festival, as well as Folk & Folk (a yarn and music festival) were incredible. We've struggled to capture in words how truly wonderful it all was, and we were super tired after a weekend of wool and friends!
