The second half of my trip started off in Scotland with my mom and sisters! There weren't any yarn stores in Inverness where we started!?! That totally shocked me and Mom, we thought there would be multiple LYS in each city so we were a bit bummed about that. Logan, Mom, Ellie, and Me! We arrived in Edinburgh and while there we visited Ginger Twist Studio! What a cute shop, just from the outside you can tell this is a bright happy space. We spent quite a bit of time in this tiny shop, the owner has so much of her hand-dyed yarn in the shop it was almost overwhelming. I felt right at home in this cozy shop and so did my family. My Mom and I were in yarn store heaven. We felt a bit deprived of yarn shops because of the lack in Inverness. Isn't this the cutest open sign ever! I hadn't planned to visit anymore stores while in Edinburgh, my mom and I are knitters but my younger sisters (Ellie and Logan) are not. I promised to only search out one shop per city we were in so they didn't feel like their entire trip was stuck in yarn stores. But if we happened to find a yarn store when we were walking around we were definitely going inside to have a look. And guess what! It happened! We were walking around on our last day in Edinburgh looking for Dean's village (which we didn't find) and walked past a yarn store! Made my entire day! The shop was McAree Brothers and they had a really great selection! There were so many books and a whole range of yarn types and prices. They had a really large selection of acrylics and baby yarns but they also carried Regia and Rowan. Definitely a shop for a variety of knitters. I was able to pick up the KnitPro Zings I had been looking for! My mom and I were pleased as punch about finding this stop. The shops in Edinburgh were so clever! After our short stop in Edinburgh we headed to London! Of course the main shop that I wanted to stop in was Loop London, who wouldn't want to stop in. Before I made it to Loop I was able to stop into I Knit London! The shop was so open and airy, with tons of hand dyes and beautiful colors. I really wish that we would have been able to make it to a knit night here because I was in heaven. The owner was so low key and easy to talk with, he showed my his magic loop socks out of his hand dyed. Of course I bought the exact same colorway to do a shawl in. They had a great knit area, alcohol, and sleepy dogs, I don't think our stop could have been better. Loop London was our last yarn store stop of this trip. Loop is a beautiful two story shop that had some of the most unique hand dyed yarn that I have never seen in person in the states. It was magical, amount of yarn and goodies that were packed into this space. And so many samples! I could feel and see so many of the yarns knit up so I knew what I was getting. Loop was located in a boutique area of London with antique shops, small pubs, and vintage clothing shops. We had a great time looking around the area after our shopping. The shop was almost overstuffed with yarn and fiber supplies, not in a way that was overcrowded, but in a 'you didn't want to leave' kind of way. And my mom and spent enough money to fill up a rewards card, so obviously I need to go back and use my 15% off :) We had such a great time running around and discovering new places while looking for these shops! Thanks for reading my thoughts! Hopefully this inspires you to visit a few new shops in your area and abroad!

In this step by step tutorial we will use our printable England Project Kit to quickly and easily decorate a poster display for a school report on England. The kit can be downloaded from our online store by clicking here. Pieces Included in the Kit: Title Alphabet Writing Template (lined, unlined) Half Page Writing Template Caption Card Borders Photo Frame Photo Corners Icons Supplies to Gather: Printed Kit Assignment (from your school) Rough Draft Photos, Charts, or Other Images Scissors Glue Stick Pencil or Pen Sticky Notes (or scratch paper) Poster Board (any size) Steps 1) Print The first step is to print out the kit. You can use regular letter size (8.5 x11) copy paper. Download your kit files and print, using regular, letter size printer paper. The files are organized into several multipage pdf documents, so that it is easy to print only the pages you need. Print at home, at work, or at copy shop. The kit includes enough pieces for a large display (the kind that folds in 3 and stands up alone). If you have a smaller piece of cardboard, you might not need to print all of the pages, but its handy to have some extra. Writing Templates - Before you print the writing templates, you'll need to decide if you are going to type or handwrite your report, and estimate how many pages you need to write. Estimate the number of writing templates your project requires. If you plan to hand write your report, print the lined templates. If you plan to type, print the blank unlined templates (in a later step we will run them through the printer a second time to add the words). 2) Cut Cut out just 1-3 of type of each type of piece from the kit. You probably won’t need every piece, so it saves time to cut just a few to work with. As you go, cut more pieces only as needed. 3) Borders Borders will make your poster look colorful and professional. We'll add these first because it's easy to decide where they should go, and help us space out all the other pieces. The borders are the only pieces that we recommend gluing down before the very last step (in case you change your mind). Align the borders with edge of your board, and glue. Tip - It is easiest to overlap the borders at the corners of your board, and wrap the extra around the back instead of cutting it off. 4) Pile Now we will start organizing the content of your report. You probably already have an idea of what sections you need from doing your research writing your draft, but laying it out visually can be very helpful. Cutting up your rough draft can also give you a good idea of how much space you will need for written sections. This is a good time to double check your assignment and make sure that you've included all of the required information and sections. Cut your rough draft into sections that you will display separately. Pile together images, and rough draft pieces that will go together in sections. Label with each pile with a sticky note. Double check your assignment, do you have everything that was required? 5) Pair Now you can start to pair the content of your report with the decorative England themed pieces from the kit. Sticky Notes Pair each sticky note with a title or subtitle. Don’t forget your main project title and your name. Rough Draft Pair with writing pieces with the right amount of space for what you want to write. Writing templates - good for full pages of writing. Half page writing templates - good for small explanations. Caption cards - good for captioning images with short sentences. Images Pair rectangular images with photo frames (its easiest to just put your pictures on top of the "frame", don't bother cutting out the middle). If an image is an odd shape, don’t worry. We will decorate these later with photo corners. 6) Plan Now we have a really good idea of how much space everything will take up, so we can begin to place the pieces onto the board. Grab your poster board. Start laying out your pieces on your board to get an idea of how you want to arrange your pieces. Don’t worry if there is a lot of empty space - we have tricks to fill that up later. Tip - It looks best to arrange the largest pieces near the bottom of the board. 7) Title Next, we can use the included alphabet to make custom titles for each of your stick notes. There are some whole words included in the alphabet also, but you'll probably want to make your own custom titles by combining the letters. Cut letters from the alphabet. It's easiest to cut out only the ones you need so the rest stay organized. Refer to your sticky notes to see what letters you need to cut. Arrange the letters on the title card. After you have them arranged the way you like, pick each letter up, one by one, and glue it to the title. 8) Hand Write If you are typing, skip to the next step. (Note that half pages and captions can’t be typed). If you are handwriting your report, just copy your rough draft onto the writing templates, half pages and caption cards. 9) Or, Type Follow these steps to type your report: Take one of the blank writing templates that you printed in step 1. Use a ruler to measure from edge of the paper into the inside of the colored border (this distance will vary a little depending on your printer settings). Set the margins of your word processor inside the borders measured. Print a test page of your type on regular paper. Place the test page on top of the blank border template. Hold up both sheets to a window or light source. You will be able to see if the words are lining up inside the borders. When you are ready, load the writing templates with the borders you printed in step 1 into your printer, and print to add your text. Tip - Note the way your printer feeds, all printers are different, and some flip the paper over or output prints upside down. To test how your printer feeds paper, mark an X at the top edge of a piece of paper and print a test page from your report. Note where the X ends up on your sheet. 10) Photo Corners Adding photo corners is an easy way to make odd sized images look finished and like they belong with the rest of the report. Details like this add a lot to bring your display together visually. Just place one photo corner on top of each of the corners of the image. (Its best to wait to the end to glue in case you want to move the image) 11) Icons Use the England clip art "stickers" from the kit to fill any empty spaces and make your report look colorful and interesting. Use the icons to fill in any spaces that look too empty. Icons can also be used to emphasize a topic section. 12) GLUE! Finally! When you are sure where you want everything, you can glue. It can be very helpful to take a picture before you start to glue, just in case things get moved around (or your cat jumps on your dinning room table etc.) Pick up only piece one at a time (so you don’t forget where it goes) and use a glue stick to glue it to your board. Yahoo! You are done. Go turn that project in with pride. If you post your project on facebook or instagram, tag us @schoolprojectprintables and we'll feature you on our feed ;)
