A photo of Stephen West and I together. On the left is Stephen West wearing one of his signature shawls. This one fades from a darker green through variegated light green and peach through to a different variegated light green. It has a very leafy, natural feel. I'm on the right wearing my pink to white gradient crochet shawl. We're sat together for the photo in front of some stalls selling yarn and handknits.

One last photo for now. I was able to take a photo with Stephen West, so here's both of us wearing fancy shawls. He complimented mine, which is a badge of honour I'll gladly wear 😂 🧶

Two skeins of yarn on a white table, one bright mustard and the other honey golden-brown. They're both Tandem by Westwool (Stephen West's yarn brand).

I bought these skeins of Westwool Tandem because the colours screamed honeycomb, plus I've never tried their yarn. I think I'll be drafting a honey/bee-related chart for my first three-strand project soon. 🧶

A photo of the Knit Lounge hosted by Westknits at the Knit + Stitch yarn festival. There's a big banner saying "the spectacular Westknits lounge" in the back with shelves of yarn for sale underneath. There are also two colourful Westknits shawls hanging up (one either side of the banner), but I don't know which patterns. In the centre of the space is a large round table where several people are sat crafting. There are also a few people milling around looking at yarn.

This is the Knit Lounge at Knit + Stitch hosted by Westknits. Layla Qing of Qing Fibre was there too (I love her cardigan). The lounge was a colourful, cosy oasis in all the bustle. 🧶

For any of my knitter friends out there:
I just received my Westknits Hiberknitalong Kit from Westknits.com in Amsterdam NL!
Stephen West is a genius, and his patterns are such fun! I learn things with every pattern!
