Vending at the Janeville Knit-In Feb 19, 2011

Can’t wait until the Janesville show!  It’s the first show that I’ve got in 2011, and it’s a fun one.  The people are really friendly and the facilities are beautiful, which make it a joy to vend there.   It’s held in a community center, The Gathering Place,  in Milton, WI.  Here’s the link for it, http://jakg.org/id18.html.  Sign up for classes if you can, the prices are excellent and the teachers are great.   The Janesville Area Knitting Guild sponsors it.  They’ve opened it up to non-members now, so if you act quick you can register.  :)

I’ve been dying up mohair/silk blend top for the Knit-in.  It’s to die for, it’s so pretty.  Can’t wait to show it to people. 

Here’s what I made for the Knit-in last year.
