Hi Friends, I usually don't say too much about charitable giving around here, but this time I am coming to you for help, and I want to reward you for your good deeds. An elder in our fiber arts community here in Chicago is in pretty dire need. Judy has been a fixture at YarnCon over the years, and I would see her at Sifu Design Studio on Friday nights when she would come by to hang out and pick up her daughter, who is a talented dyer and knitter. Judy is 78, and has never been able to retire...

I never meant for so much time to pass before writing about Vogue Knitting LIVE Chicago, and what I have been up to. It has been a wild and busy month! Vogue Knitting LIVE Chicago was a lot of fun!
