Stitchify - Crafts and Fiber Arts Inspiration

Oooh, so exciting! My mother-in-law and I, and her neighborhood friends called The Knotty Knitters, are all going on an Amtrak train on Saturday to the Stitches West 2009 convention in Santa Clara! The official website says that “This is an all-out mobile yarnfest, where knitters and crocheters can meet and mingle en route to the annual Stitches West convention in Santa Clara. This is a special, dedicated train just for knitters/crocheters. Capitol Corridor holds an annual Stitch ‘n Ride event to Stitches West, the West’s biggest and best knitting expo, held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Knitters and crocheters from Sacramento and the East Bay can climb aboard the Capitol Corridor and breeze down to the Santa Clara Convention Center for this annual event. Traveling via train, you’ll enjoy the company of other knitters traveling to the convention, share ideas and showcase your prized projects to others. The Capitol Corridor offers a relaxing atmosphere to knit while you travel, a much better option than dealing with traffic and parking!”

How exciting!!! And it’s so perfect – they are holding a chemo cap drive to support the Leukemia Lymphoma Society! If you want to ride the Stitch n’ Ride train, today is the last day to buy tickets. Thank goodness the event is the day after payday! ;)
