Well, this past Saturday was the Yarn and Wine tasting, and it was a blast! The weather was cooperating, so we had a tent outside to enjoy our afternoon. I want to say a big Thank YOU to all our awesome sponsors!!! You can see a list of them here.

In addition to the goodie bags that everyone got to take home, there were enough door prizes for everyone to win at least one. Kyla had a blast picking names and handing out the door prizes throughout the afternoon.

I have to take a moment to thank my wonderful husband, Doug, and his ever-increasing photography skills for taking photos throughout the event!

The afternoon started off with wine. Much wine. In between each tasting, everyone tried out the various yarns at the tables. There were over a dozen different yarns at each table to try out, and index cards so attendees could take notes on their favorites.

It was very interesting to walk around and ask what people were falling in love with. There were some that were favorites at all the tables, and others that popped up here and there as favorites.

Everyone really had a great time. Occasionally I would ask if anyone had any knit or crochet questions or tips. We managed to learn quite a bit from each other!

There was even an impromptu Tunisian crochet lesson!

Donna was helping with the wine tasting portion, I think she may have been sampling a bit herself, because she seems to think those carrots are knitting needles…

Lots of little swatches were made.

Kyla made some new friends.

Well, we all made some new friends. I’d say it was a great success. We’ve chatted, and Royal Rabbit Vineyards and I think we should do this again. There are no set dates yet, but I’ll be sure to keep you in the loop for the next one.
