Sunday in Cologne!
Ok, we have to start with this photo because it is my favorite from the entire show! Bob and Roop are on the right but I couldn't tell you anything about the other two gentlemen.
All I know is that the one fellow had grabbed a pair of needles and was trying them out. No problem except that he started walking around as he talked with Bob and Roop.
Before we knew it, we had quite a tangle of yarn all over the booth. I straightened out, identified the ball of yarn that was attached to his needles and stuffed it into his pocket. I couldn't resist taking a picture!
Lots more knitting!!
When things started slowing down in the afternoon, Astrid tried to help me knit faster. It felt like I was learning to knit all over again. I remember the details but I haven't taken the time to sit down and build up the muscle memory. It all has to do with tiny movements and grabbing the yarn at the very tips of the needles.
Before we broke down the booth, we had a group photo taken. Tired but very happy!
Roop, me, Bob, Rashme, Astrid, Angela and Ashok.
How exciting for you all to have such a wonderful selling/buying trip! You must be thrilled! I too love the photo of the men and the yarn!

What I wouldn't give to stumble upon a Knit Picks booth where knitters were invited to sample the wares! Thank you for continuing to bring affordable, quality knitting products to the masses.

I really like your shawl in the pics. Where did you get the pattern? I agree with Phoebe. It would be fun to sample the products.

Welcome back!
Loved the posts about your first trade show! It was great seeing all the photos and you in gorgeous shawls! The booth looked wonderful. I spent years as a retail buyer and am impressed at how light and bright it looks. Nothing worse than a dark, crowded booth.
Hope your jet lag is gone and you enjoyed the new book.
