Hello Columbus

Here are a few preshow pictures. There are new colours from Freia Fibers. This is their display in the 'New Products' area.

Cheshire Cat mini skein kits from Frabjous Fibers are going to look different in the future. No more plastic bags.

Friday evening there is an event called Sample It. Suppliers set up tables showcasing new products for the next season. Shop owners can purchase kits to start making samples for their store. Jacqueline from Soak decided that she needed to be in the picture with this awesome shawl. This is Amanda (ketchup chips) from Lorna's Laces wearing a new shawl design from Romi. It is a full skein of Shepherd Sock along with a String Quintet kit. The pattern will be available on Ravelry next week. I knew that this pattern was coming so I preordered the yarn. It'll be in the car when I head home on Monday. The ketchup chips worked :)

This is a bit out of order but I wanted yarn pictures first :)

I made it safely and in record time. And that included being half an hour at duty free because there were 12 buses. This is the first year driving to Columbus with no construction, no accidents and very little rain.

My room has a great window seat - perfect for knitting. Maybe tomorrow night. It's bed time.
