Well,
The big news at the knitting conference is a new sock contest. Winners will be announced at Stitches West 2009 and the Grand Prize is not 3,000 but 6 GRAND! Lots of subcategories can win 500 each. They want major creativity–think Cat Bordhi, Debbie New, Lucy Neatby–people who have come up with totally new ways to knit socks.
Everyone, needless to say, is buying sock yarn. The “Socks that Rock” booth was mobbed at the preview last night. What it’ll be like in the regular market is impossible to say.
700 plus people are registered for classes and the Fashion Show tonight.
All I can say is, Wow! I’m having a wonderful time.
Yours knitting happily,
Karin (bushiethepoet)
