I'm sure you know about the big crop event they had today.<br /><br />The rain here was a speck of dust compared to what's going on in Haiti. The leaks were our only problem and in the whole scheme of things, not a big deal.<br /><br />Thank you for thinking of me.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-8706618914040057312010-01-23T17:38:07.178-05:002010-01-23T17:38:07.178-05:00Betty, I had actually hoped to be there this year,...Betty, I had actually hoped to be there this year, but it was just too much for me. I'm so glad you had a good time. I've been thinking about you and all that rain. I heard more about it today on NPR, and I guess being on the opposite coast, with the news about Haiti, I hadn't given it as much thought or as many prayers as it deserved. Glad you had a treat. You earned it!Joanna Campbell Slanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951637123269159053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-5948342144686170272010-01-23T16:05:22.187-05:002010-01-23T16:05:22.187-05:00Monica, you have my sympathy.

I was having enough trouble keeping it straight when the woman from the Yarn Council showed me. But when I tried today, my fingers remembered. Now I know two ways to cast on. Yay!Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-24649413932268589092010-01-23T14:23:19.420-05:002010-01-23T14:23:19.420-05:00A dream day, Betty.

I didn't see any rug hooking, needlepoint, or hand embroidery. <br /><br />It was held at the Anaheim Convention center.<br /><br />Terri, I bet your friends are going to the trade portion. It was in a whole other section and it sounds like it really starts Sunday. The consumer area was only open on Friday and Saturday. I think there would have been a lot more people if it hadn't been raining.<br /><br />Terri, you're right about it about how you use those embroidery machines. I saw a demo of a knitting machine and talked to the woman who demoed it. She said she could make a sweater in a day. It sounded good to me. Hmm maybe next time I see them on sale.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-19818960515916088512010-01-23T13:03:53.664-05:002010-01-23T13:03:53.664-05:00Wow!

I know quite a few people who are attending.<br /><br />Those embroidery machines can make lovely things, but yes, it's all pretty perfect.
