• We were invited along to the Edinburgh Yarn Festival at the Corn Exchange today.
• 
• 
• The festival was so much bigger than I had imagined, with hundreds of vendors from around the world selling yarn, patterns and everything a knitter could dream of.
• 
• With wooly inspiration everywhere, the urge to start stitching was quite overwhelming, but luckily there were workshops and demonstrations to keep our hands busy.
• 
• <a href="http://spincityshop.com/">Spin City</a> were giving demonstrations of their handmade drop spindles which came in gorgeous designs and looked so much fun to use.
• 
• There were also so many pattern designers, famous stitchers and experts on hand, making it the perfect opportunity to meet your heroes and get your favourite books signed.
