Today I went to Stitches West Expo 2006 with my sister, Renee, and my friend, Sandi. This was my first knitting convention/show. I was completely overwhelmed by the number booths, yarns, projects, etc. It was great fun watching all of the women walking around wearing their knitted projects -- scarves, shawls, vests, sweaters, ponchos, purses, etc. I also noticed that the women easily out-numbered the men at least 50-to-1.
All of the local yarn and knitting shops were there: Yarndogs, Commuknity, Knitter's Studio, etc. I stopped by the WEBS booth and picked up some Valley Yarn Wildwood to finish my shawl and something else for a yet undetermined project (scarf? wrap?).
Afterwards, we went to Sandi's house for a meeting of our knitting group. It was the perfect winter afternoon to be inside with friends, knitting and chatting.
