More TNNA




I read that you are not suppose to take pictures in the display hall.... but since this was the booth I was working in, I think it is probably OK. I didn't take pictures of anybody elses booth, or of any of the "knitting elite" - though I will admit to minor stalking. We were right next to the Ghost Knitters. They really seemed to be the talk of the show. We were joking with them that we had thier whole speil memorized, but you should really check out their site, because they have a great business model that could be very beneficial for many yarn companies, yarn Stores, ready to wear desingers, and designers in general.

I also got to meet Jess, Casey, and Mary Heather of Ravelry, You could just hear the buzz as they approached. Exhibitors and buyers alike were so excited to meet them and chat with them. What a great community they are building for all of us. Like everything new, there may be some unintended consequenses, but for the most part, Ravelry is a good thing.
