I absolutely agree with EYF being a great show for vendors - staying warm and dry makes it so much easier to talk with people!EYF - Over for another year (sadly!) - Absoknittinglutelyurn:md5:baabe30a2b9449073dfbe74dd98194bf2016-03-26T18:36:05+00:001970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00AbsoknittinglutelyYour stand was lovely and I was was tempted by so many things. I now have one of your denim gradient packs and am so glad I finally got to buy your yarn. I first came across Ripples Crafts 6 years ago in a yarn shop in Edinburgh, but had no money on me and regretted it ever since. So I made sure to go straight to your stand at EYF this year to buy whatever I fancied. Thanks for being there and making EYF such a success.EYF - Over for another year (sadly!) - Freyalynurn:md5:fd7253a2a399d46b06e833359b71a4802016-03-25T19:45:41+00:001970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00FreyalynWish I'd had more time to spend with people - I need to spend a whole day there next year, if not two.

I wish I could have been there and met all those designers and dyers that attended, especially you, as you are so gifted. As I couldn't attend, I treated myself with another three months of your sock club, love love,AND a washbag from Harris Tweed lsle of Harris. Both sizes, either £28 or £40, are perfect for one skein knitting, eg socks!!!! Your yarn and a beautiful tartan bag, with handle, keeps me happy with a brilliant scottish fix. Would recommend these bags as the sizes are good and very well made and same price as other knitting bags that are being sold. Please look.The "Ripples" in Ripples Crafts - Barbara Henryurn:md5:1180d12b86659b86618e2bbfc5ae7e122015-03-24T00:15:07+00:001970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00Barbara HenryHi Helen - thank you for sharing why/how your named your business Ripples Craft - it does seem very appropriate. I am very excited to hear that a loom made its way home with you from Edinburgh; I truly hope you have a great deal of fun bonding with your new loom. It will be exciting to see some of your color ways woven up. Welcome to the world of weaving. Weaverly yours ........

I have met several lovely people all because of you, and whats more last weekend I met some more, so please don't think about changing your name any time soon! Much Love FxThe "Ripples" in Ripples Crafts - Jill Surn:md5:a6687fa196f523e37f0154c8738346f92015-03-22T20:57:22+00:001970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00Jill SI love the Ripples name, and believe it should stay too. Naturally, I couldn't drop everything to come to EYF but when I saw your special colourway for the show, I loved it, and Ann, who I've never met, was kind enough to buy it and ship it out to NZ for me. She must have been talking about me at the show, and passed on some lovely comments that others had made, who have met me in the past. Ripples is perfect - they're spreading all the way from Scotland to New Zealand, and long may they continue.The "Ripples" in Ripples Crafts - Chriscatsurn:md5:6ff8884b0ec05c5b2e7c301a3c9e35772015-03-22T20:36:00+00:001970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00ChriscatsRipple away.
