The Knit and Crochet Show

The Knit and Crochet Show is coming to the Greensboro, N.C., area in September. Will you be there?

I learned about it from Ravelry friend hartroadhomestead. So, I've emailed Mom and my sis to see if they want to go to the Greensboro show, which is Sept. 23-25.

There's also a show in Minneapolis, Minn., in July. Might want to check that one out if it's closer to you.

The show features vendors of yarns and notions for knitters and crocheters alike.

There's also classes and several special events, like dinners and fashion shows.

I don't think we're going to take in any classes as they're pretty expensive. But we're talking about going at least one day to check out some yarn and other events.

Cost is $10 for one day and $5 for each additional day. That cost isn't too bad. Plus, you can grab a coupon off the event's website here.

You can register for the event here.

Hope to see you there!

Also, Rae over at Made by Rae is hosting her annual Spring Top Sewalong. Submissions should already be in and judges will soon narrow down the tops down to the finalists, which we'll get to vote for our favorite.

One of the judges, Deborah of Whipstitch Fabrics, shared how to buy fabric from online stores earlier this week. If you're anxious about buying fabric online, stop by Whipstitch Fabrics to see what Deborah says about picking out the best fabric for your project.
