Stitches South 2010 HIGHLIGHTS
What a grand time we had in Atlanta! An incredible amount of work, but also a huge, huge ton of fun.
This year we also took a truck down, but in addition to the Super 10 Cotton we also took linen blends, silk blends, other cotton blends, plus several different lace yarns and our Elysium silk/cashmere blend. Lots of magazines, patterns, Trendsetter novelty yarn, and needles too.
I never imagined we would be part of the “Yarnie Elite” but when the Ravelry crew announced they would be going to Stitches South, we jumped at the opportunity to help with their party on Thursday night after the Market Preview. We signed on as “Cashmere Sponsor” and found ourselves in the same company as Webs, Skacel and Trendsetter!
See–we’re right there just above Bob’s right ear!
There were about 350 Ravelers who came for a relaxing beverage, a little late noshing, a chance to meet Jess, Casey and the rest of the Ravelry crew, as well as a chance to win a door prize (there were lots!)
Not only were Jess and Casey there, but also Mary-Heather, of course, and a new member of the Ravelry team, Sara. All of them are just the nicest people you would ever want to meet. I don’t know how they do it .
And it was even more fun when they came by the booth–take a look!
What a grand time we had–we’ll be anxious for the next time.
More later,
Laurel
