A number of my current customers had arranged to come from as far afield as New Zealand, America and Spain this year, and while I don't for one minute suggest that they were coming just to see me, it has added to my feeling of disappointment that I will not be able to give them the opportunity to see my yarns displayed. Sorry about this.
I have always been a huge fan and supporter of Woolfest ande I hope I bounce back from the disappointment soon. Stevan is trying to persuade me still to go as a visitor, and maybe take some of my yarns for folk who wish to see it at a gathering we could arrange. Plans are already afoot for a bit of a gathering of friends old and new, and I would look forward to seeing everyone.
On a more positive note I will be at Scotland's Knitting Only Show in Perth in May and I will also be making a return visit to Gardening Scotland which I am really looking forward to.
But it raises the question in my mind - if you were to attend your dream woolly event, how would it look?

To distract me a little from feeling so glum we took a drive to Ullapool today. It is such a pretty town, and the sun was shining, so it was hard to be too glum for too long.

Looking forward to seeing you in Perth, though. :) And something not much bigger than that would probably be my ideal event - I have to make too many choices between glorious wool as it is. ^^ Maybe one day of classes and one day of small-business, artisan dyers' wares.

Don't feel too low. Go and enjoy the experience, then apply again next year.

Sunny in Ullapool today?! I'm at Sabhal Mor Ostaig on Skye and it has been overcast and drizzly all day (but that's ok as I've been stuck indoors learning Gaelic!). Love your photos of Ullapool - it's such a picturesque place.
