*Poof* (Knit & Crochet Show)

Yup, that's the sound of my head exploding yet again.

One of the reasons I love what I do for work and I've stuck with it now for 7 years is that every day is different and every day I learn something new. And, that's one of the reasons why knit, crochet, dying and embroidery have held my interest as well. There is an endless amount to learn.

Though I do have a walking encyclopedia at my disposal, not to mention my personal library full of books and magazines, nothing quite prepared me for the Knit & Crochet Show. Sure on the surface its a bunch of knitters and crocheters descending upon the Convention Center. There are classes and vendors and I was ready for all of that. What I wasn't ready for was the amount you learn and the people you meet in this long weekend.

Here are the people I met this weekend, in no particular blog order:

Drew.
Annie.
Cat.
Jim.
Jennifer.
Laurie.

Here are the people who now have my paycheck:

Dicentra.
The Naked Sheep.
Habu.
Village Spinning & Weaving.
Abundant Yarn & Dye Works.

And I'm not even talking about the nice people in my classes or the vendors who don't have my credit cards or the other people I met whose names I've forgotten or blogs I didn't write down or shops I visited in Portland or the nice people I had dinner with. I just need to put my head back together and I'll start breaking it down.

More to come in my next post....
