    Stitches West 2016 - Day 1

    February 20, 2016

    ย 

    ย 

    Biggest even in the bay area for knitters, Stitches West is the biggest yarn exhibition in the US.

    It includes classes and a large market place.ย 

    ย 

    It is the opportunity to meet your favorite vendors, designers, dyers, local yarn shops, meet people for different part of the country who share the same passion.

    ย 

    The Stitches market is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but if you are signed up for a class, you have the opportunity of attending a preview of the market Thursday night.

    ย 

    Needless to say that I look forward to attend every year.

    I usually signed up for one-hour market sessionย 

    because it includes the 3 day pass for the market as well as the Thursday night preview.ย 

    I found out over the years that the class is always fun to take.

    ย 

    ย ย First comes first, my favorite yarn store

    I didn't wait a minute as soon as the market was open!!
