I am posting photos of the Curioushandmade Country House Retreat and Edinburgh Yarn Festival here separately so the show entry isn't too loaded for those who have slower downloads.

Thank you for posting these! I dream of going to Scotland and to get to do so with a knitting adventure would be so amazing! It truly looks as beautiful and wonderful as I can imagine!
