Florida Fiber-In: anyone going?
September 18-20, the Florida Fiber-In will be held in Sarasota, Florida. Will you be attending? It’s a free event ($15 donation suggested to help offset costs), with shopping and free demos/classes. It’s about a 5 hour drive for me, but I’m looking forward to attending and meeting new friends!
I’m going to try and meet up with Julie, of 1,000 Petals Yarn, since she was a podcast listener and her yarn was the inspiration for the Jules pattern. She will be vending at the event, so maybe I’ll support her and purchase a couple of skeins I’ve had my eyes on for a while. I didn’t learn about the event soon enough so I wasn’t able to throw my hat in to be a vendor, for The Yarn Side, but there’s always next year! It’ll be nice to get to know the people first, and just enjoy the event as an attendee.
Here are some demos that I’m looking forward to:
Celena Crews, of “Rocket Yarn” – Two Sock Yarn Dyeing Methods
Rebecca Bowen, of Sunshine Knit Designs - Spinning with Silk Hankies
Ginger Clark, of Hanks Yarn and Fiber - Color Spinning
Ginger Clark, of Hanks Yarn and Fiber – Let’s take a test Drive
If you’re in the area, it’d be great to meet up! Let me know if you’re going to make it and we can put together some sort of signal or handshake.
I’ll be there on Saturday! I’m teaching a demo on amigurumi to introduce them to the group. :) It’s the gateway drug into crochet, ya know? ;-)
Swing in and see me if you’re there early enough (I’m teaching around 10ish). I’ll probably be hanging around after for a while.
