I was so impressed by the intensity of everyone both days. The knitters did not have to pay for this class or their meal--it was part of their annual program that was paid from earnings from Knitters Fantasy, an all day knitting conference and market that the guilds host. Yet they came, they sat, and they knitted like their lives depended on it.

It was fun to visit Kay Thompson's Knit Wit Yarn Shop in Salem. I've known Kay for a few years as a fellow vendor at Knitter's Day Out and as a customer at TNNA. Her husband, Barry, has taken one of my business classes, so it was good to see him too. She stocked up on Y2Knit patterns and sold Rose a ball of yarn and some needles as she had forgotten the instructions for the project she brought. We all enjoyed a good dinner at the Green Rose Bistro behind the shop.
I'll post pictures as soon as I have some, since they are on the cameras of others.
Youngstown is just an hour east of Akron!
