Every year, Aimee and I travel down to the H&H America’s trade show in Chicago to see the latest and greatest that our industry has to offer. We always come back with a few new ideas, and a skein of yarn or two. This last week was no exception. ๐Ÿ™‚

We also get to see some pretty silly things. ๐Ÿ™‚

Would you knit with a ball strapped to your arm?

How about this giant Doodle Card? Featuring Sue the T-Rex from the Chicago Field Museum!

Our friend Megan from Knit and Bolt entered the cosplay competition and won a sewing award – we’re so proud! Go Megan!!!

We even stumbled upon some knitting celebrities! We sawย Mister Larrie, andย Arne & Carlos! They are worth checking out if you haven’t discovered their internet content yet.

It was a lovely few days – we got out of our beloved Brick Alley, thought of fun, new, and exciting things to bring in for all of you…

…and I got a few nights of baby-free sleep. ๐Ÿ™‚

The week is one of my favorite parts of my job. I’m so excited to show all of you what we’re bringing in over the next few months.
