I just want to start this blog out with a great big thank you everybody who helped make The 1st Annual Steel City Fiber Festival an overwhelming success. I’d like to start by thanking my fellow coordinator, Joe Cole, for his tireless effort. Without his help this would have been twice as much work to […]
Everyone, I have something to tell you, Southern Hospitality is not just a cliché or a thing of the past. Southern Hospitality is real, and if you don’t believe me then you obviously did not go to Nashville TN for Stitches South two weeks ago. Everyone there: the other vendors; the event staff at The […]
I’d like to start out this post with some very special thanks. This past weekend I was in Pittsburg for Indie Knit and Spin. I had a little trouble getting out there, so first I’d like to thank Cosi for all of her help getting Shirsty Cat in and set up so quickly and for […]
