The opportunities are more then you can imagine. Usually you find great venders in yarn, as well as books and unique supplies; there are even classes to take with a wide range of specialties.

If you happen to be in the area, stop by Saturday and say \u201cHi\u201d, I\u2019ll be at the Lisa Souza Knitwear and Dyeworks Booth (720\/22\/24) with the release of my new patterns!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4459.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-50\" alt=\"http:\/\/www.knittinguniverse.com\/west\/\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4459-300x177.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4459-300x177.png 300w, http:\/\/www.lindadeancrochet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4459.png 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">http:\/\/www.knittinguniverse.com\/west\/<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have never attended a large fiber conference I recommend that you at least attend one once in your life time.
