More News from San Diego

So as the first week ends after the show, I think I really am pleased with the outcome! My little printer is going like made to get materials ready and I am looking into a replacement, but good on the whole!

Probably the best part were my two helpers Jeanne and Beth. I had to teach during the first hour of the show, so they both helped cover until I could get there. They also were great fun for going out afterwards!

Jeanne and I just barely met in KC prior to my leaving, but became fast friends. Although she has be a knitting instructor, she is now focusing on designing and is fantastic. Knitability has a few of her designs licensed prior to her starting her own designing business Nature Speaks. She is a treasure!

Beth and I are teachers at the big conventions and were roommates last year at Stitches Midwest. She only lives a few hours away in SF making it possible to see each other occassionally. Beth and I also "mind melded" almost immediately and are working on developing a GREAT project (more later). Beth also does design and I love her company name See Jane Knit.

In addition I got to see my good friend Annie Modesitt. She and I met at Camp Stitches East many moons ago and we were "sturdy girls on little chairs". Ask her about it sometime!!

Anyway, it is always nice to catch up with friends -- especially knitting friends!
