Knit and Crochet Show


There isn't much to report for this week. We got back last night from spending five days in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the Summer Knit and Crochet Show sponsored by CGOA and TKGA.

This conference was awesome! I met some new friends and attended three classes. I learned from Joan Davis how to properly take measurements and consider the different types of ease when choosing the size of garment to make. Also from Joan Davis, I took a class in crochet camisoles that fit. My last class was a fun bead crochet class (see picture above), Double Helix Crochet Necklace & Bracelet, taught by Darla Fanton. I spent way too much money at the vendors market.

Now I'm home and need to go back to work tomorrow so I can start saving up for the next conference in 2012. I also need to figure out when I'm going to have time to implement some great ideas for designing and to use up the yarn I came home with.

Have a good week!
