I attended the Knit and Crochet Show, Friday October 4th in Concord, NC.  It is sponsored by by TKGA and COGA.  I had a good time. There are a lot of talented knitters and crocheters out there. There was an area dedicated to designs that people made.

There was a fashion show.  Several workshops as well.  The only sad thing was one item that was displayed during a workshop about Sashay yarn did have a pattern however, it was not free.  We were given the impression that we could get the free pattern.  I even bought 2 skeins of Sashay to make it.

I enjoyed the Red Heart / Crochetville booth.  They had samples of the new Red Heart fabric Sashay yarn.  We even got to crochet a flower with it.  It was nice to have some hands on time with a yarn I have never seen.

I stopped in the Lion Brand Yarn booth.  I saw some of the new Fettuccini yarn.  I believe that it used to be called Zpaghettti.  It is a super bulky t-shirt yarn.  I saw two skeins of red and gray.  I decided to buy it because I may not get the chance again.  I decided I would make an envelope purse out of 1 skein. We will see what I make with the rest of it.
