Hi everyone! I know I have not been blogging since I came home gushing about New York, because I have been working hard since then. Vogue Knitting LIVE in New York was amazing for Malojos! Sales were great, and have kept up ever since, which is just wonderful. For me, it has meant being able to finally upgrade some equipment so I can work more efficiently, and even getting some lighting for my booth for my next Vogue show in Chicago, my home town! I hope you will come and see me and my wonderful booth partner, Chiagu, at Vogue...

I have been trying to find time to write about my amazing experience in New York City for Vogue Knitting Live, but every time I sit down in front of the computer, by the time I am done answering emails, and placing orders to restock depleted supplies I have either forgotten or run out of time.  Most of the supplies have been ordered (haha, I just stopped writing this post so I could order another thing I just remembered!), ring orders are underway, and emails have been answered.  Times Square! Bright as day, even at night! A tourist trap to...

I hope everyone had a good holiday, and is ringing in the new year in a good way. It was pretty low-key around here, we had a nice time with seeing the family, and then we hunkered down with colds for the year. Whee!

This is my first time vending at Vogue, and I am very excited to be sharing a booth with Chiagu! We will be in booth 516, please come and visit if you...

I know I had originally said Dec. 2 for the last day for Christmas delivery, but I am insane a big softy, so I moved it to the 9th. So, December 9th is the last day for guaranteed Christmas Delivery. But, I have a back-up plan for all of you procrastinators! If you place your orders after the 9th, and I cannot get it ready in time, I can send a nice Malojos card you use as a placeholder until the jewelry arrives.  My little "elves" try to help, but have you seen their arms?

I had never been to String Theory, the delightful yarn store in Glen Ellyn, IL until I had my first trunk show there on Sunday. It was my first visit, but it won't be my last. Janet Avila's store has everything a yarn lover wants: a great selection of yarn, tools and patterns, and a welcoming environment. I could tell right away as her regular crowd started showing up and taking their places around the oval table in the center of the room, that this was a friendly place. They all knew each other, but welcomed every new comer in...
