Off on a big knitful adventure!

I'm off to Indy today. Never been to Indy. But the reason to go isn't really the Hoosier Mud Pie that I've got scheduled for Saturday night. It's all about the big knitting [and other needlearts] tradeshow. This is the one for fall, where shops choose the stuff they'll carry, and where everyone in the industry meets, greets, hugs, shakes hands, signs books and doesn't buy anything.

Seriously. A huge convention center full of the coolest knitting stuff you'll ever see and you're not allowed to purchase anything. [Place big orders for your store, sure. But you can't buy one of these or two of those and take 'em with you.] Doesn't matter a bit. It's the most amazing experience. This will be my third time. Can not wait.

Hope to see you there! If you see me booting around the hallway and I'm not looking in your direction [or we haven't met yet], stop me and say hi! I've got new 1" Knitty buttons to give out this time. :-)
