...finally..

Bless me father for I have sinned, it's been 3 weeks since my last post. Old Catholic habits die hard. I can't even begin to know where the time has gone. Whatever....

Anywho, I had the pleasure of seeing many so many old friends and meeting some new ones this year at Stitches East. Meet Pam from New Jersey and her funky sock monkey in progress.

She was making it for her son and just happened to have it with her! So fun to see another monkey entering the world!

Here he is with Pam's son Shane.

Shane looks pretty thrilled, not sure what the monkey is thinking. You never know with primates...

Thanks for sharing him with me Pam!

The booth was hoppin' all four days during the show. We had such an overwhelming response to the Traveling Sweater that by the last day of the show we were sold out of the patterns and almost sold out of the yarn to make it. This is no surprise, the sweater is fabulous! I wish I would have had a "clicker" to keep track of just how many people tried that sweater on. I saw it on every shape and size and it looked great on everyone. Once they tried it on....well, the rest was history.

As I've said before, I am very lucky to be able to attend these shows. Tina has a wonderful product and I'm very proud to represent it. If you are in the New York area January 21-23, 2011 stop by and see us at Vogue Knitting Live. This is the next show I'll be at and I'm really looking forward to it. And if you are on the west coast in February we'll be at Stitches West in Santa Clara. I'm a traveling fool. Hey, maybe I should make one of those sweaters......
