All about yarn! 4th Backnanger Wollfest with Heike & Ute

On my way

Yesterday I visited the 4th Backnanger Wollfest. Although I promised to shout a lot of pictures I didn’t have enough time to do so, because the time was filled with winding wool, chatting with lovely Heike Gittins from Made with Loops, my fellow Rowan Ambassador Ute Rehner from Heute strick ich and Renate from Wollstube Wollin.

Time passed pretty fast and I nearly missed the start of Heike’s workshop “Granny Squares” which I was attending. Lovely Heike showed us how to crochet squares, hexagons, circles and rectangles. It was so much fun.
