I looked at the site, and have heard of it but never attended. It would be wonderful to go, and now I'm disappointed too.

That is too bad. I have younger sisters living in NYC and one of them went last year. She said that it was great!

yeah! when i went last year, i won a beautiful book Andean Folk Knits from one of the publishers there! for free! i had a really good time meeting the different shops, and see what else lily chin had made... i'd really like a reason as to why this is not happening for us in NYC when it's happening, apparently, all over the country.

Last winter the Craft Yarn Council, of which I am a member, held a similar event at the Mall of America in Minnesota, and it was such a tremendous success that it was decided to do it again there in 2008 rather than do a 2007 one in NY again. The costs of holding it in New York City have increased tremendously, and we could not afford to do it in two places. We may have it there again in future years.
