MORE ON KNIT/CROCHET CONFERENCE




















Good Morning Everyone,

I just found a whole bunch of photos from the conference that I had downloaded to the computer, forgot to label, and totally forgot about. I took photos in all my classes, at the Caron after hours party and more at the banquet. I cannot give you all the names but I hope that you enjoy the photos. I am sure that you will recognize a lot of familiar faces.

The first photo is the Offinger crew, working hard to make sure all goes smoothly. The Caron Dance Party photos speak for themselves, everyone having fun. The photos of my happy, energetic, inspiring students, I love teaching best of all.

Have a great day,

Margart

Trying Again







Hi again, I am trying to add conference photos, blogger not cooperating this morning. Wouldn't you know it, the one day that I have time to do this :-)

I think its working now. The first photo is a photo of my hat, titled Adam and Eve, that was donated for the auction. My photo is not that great so you have to look carefully to see Adam, Eve, (with an apple in her hand) and the serpent, far left you can see the forked tongue.

Next photos are, Me with Maire Treanor, from Ireland, author of Clones Lace, and Vashti Braha, another great designer. There's me again with Susan Huxley. I met Susan at my very first CGOA conference and took a class with Susan and her husband Bob, on photographing your work. Great Class. If you look to the right that's my friend Phyllis Sandford, another author and designer. More banquet photos, me and Irene Ianelli, more banquet.

I think that's all the photos that I have to share.

Have a great day

Margaret

MORE ON KNIT/CROCHET CONFERENCE


Good Morning Everyone,

So sorry that it has taken me so long to get this next post in, but sometimes things happen. I was working on a new book proposal, and it took some time, so blogging went out the window.

I really did have such a wonderful time at the conference. It is so great meeting old friends and making new ones. My classes were such fun, and I think everyone learned something.

Well I got one more banquet picture in and my blogger stopped working. Won't let me add any more photos. I'll try again later.



Have a great day.

The Knit and Crochet Conference in NH











Good Morning Everyone,

I just returned home from the fabulous, exciting gathering of knitters and Crocheters in New Hampshire. I taught several classes and they were all full. I taught an all day Knit/Crochet combination free form class, and all the attendees were well on their way to completing a bag by the time the day was over. I also taught Entrelac Crochet, and Finishing like a Pro. Great students and a great time.

The evening activities were terrific, the banquet and fashion show, and the Crochet Contest (my entry won second prize in the Woman's Day Time Fashion category, and I was thrilled.

Below are several photos from the conference. Beginning with the first photo, my entry in the crochet contest, happy camper modeling my sweater that she made from Crochet! magazine, winner of one of my hats donated for auction to raise money for the Leukemia Society, Donna and Amy from Crochetville and me, happy attendees at the fashion show and banquet,
Me and Rebeca V, winners of my other 2 hats.

I am going to post about the conference in two separate blog entries, more tomorrow.

Have a great day

Margaret
