First up, an apology. I'm so sorry it's taken this long to get a postal address together. It turned out that creating a PO Box address was just far too complicated and costly in the end and simply not viable, so I've had to search for an alternative plan. Luckily, I have a very cool and very able Thinking Buddy (Heather, take a bow) and she hit on the the perfect solution....ask our rather fandabidozy Local Yarn Shop if they wouldn't mind becoming a Bunting Delivery Depot for a month or two.
Jane, who owns the wonderful Purl&Jane Knitting Emporium is one of Yarndale's official sponsors, so it has all kind of slotted rather nicely into place. Phew.
So.....fabulous Hookers of the World!!!!!!!!!! I am ready!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can mail your bunting triangles to this address ::
YARNDALE BUNTING
Purl & Jane
4 Mount Pleasant
High Street,
Skipton,
North Yorkshire
BD23 1JZ
ENGLAND
Please, please include the following (clearly written/typed) information with your triangles ::
1. Your name
2. Where you are from (Town/State and Country)
3. Contact details (email, and/or blog etc)
♥♥THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH♥♥
I'm extending the deadline until the end of August, so plenty of time for them to arrive. I can't wait to see what you've been making, I am beyond thrilled....BRING IT ON!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ps if you don't know what the heck I'm talking about, original post (with link to the pattern) is HERE.
Love you blog and all your creativeness! Congrats also on the new studio - very fun!! I'm ready to embark on a blanket project and was wondering if you can recommend a yarn the will wear well LONG TERM. I found a washable merino here in the US and after 9 months, the hat is fuzzy/pilly, so I really don't want to go with that. Thanks

So excited to ba part of the Bunting project. I have a few made but now that the deadline has been moved out I will be able to hook a few more. I am currently working an a Yarn Bombing event(July 20th) at a local Aboretum in Illinois. So as soon as that is up and booming I will start on more bunting.

I hope there is more of us from NZ joining in this cause. If not I will try my best to represent. I truly wish I could go to Yarndale but alas the budget wouldn't stretch that far. Sigh...oh well bunting hooking it will have to be! I look forward to seeing LOADS of photos of the amazing weekend and everyone's bunting efforts.

Bravo to all!! No matter the time..we knew the address the coming;))) Now relax my love while you can before you are inundated!!!! As I so stupidly said earlier I wish there was some way I could help you chain them together. My need for that came for how much you have given me. One day I will explain. Until then...xo
Posted by: Pat | July 13, 2013 at 02:32 AM
Hooray! I want to do up a couple more, then they will be on their way! I'm sure this was a pain to organize, but what a brilliant solution! I hope it hasn't been too much of a hassle for you. Thanks for the great idea!

I'm just about to dig out my stash and get hooking - myself, my partner, my Mum and my wee babby are all excited to be coming - if we EVER get round to booking a room to stay in that is, since we live FAR South!

Posted by: Anne | July 12, 2013 at 09:14 PM
No need to apologize Lucy! I for one am just happy it all worked out in the end and that I can now get my little stack shipped off to you. Like many others I am certain you will be absolutely flooded with bunting triangles from all over the world :)
Am sadly not able to attend the event, but I am looking *oh* so much forward to following the whole thing online.
All the best and happiest thoughts,
Kristina in Sweden.
PS: hooray for Heather and Jane!
