Knitting can often be a solitary pursuit, so it’s no surprise that, when a group of knitters does get together, it tends to turn into a bit of a party. If you’ve never been to one of the STITCHES events before, that’s the best way to describe it: a knitter’s paradise. There’s yarn as far as the eye can see, oodles of knitting patterns, and tons of happy crafters exploring their art. The Knitting Universe team does everything possible to make each STITCHES event memorable and special. From bringing in world-class instructors to teach classes to gathering local yarn dyers and artisans to sell their one-of-a-kind yarns, the range of experiences and learning opportunities at STITCHES are remarkable.
The STITCHES events are such a hit that they have even started creating eBooks, full of the most popular patterns, themed around each of the four events, South, East, West, and Midwest. If you can’t go to STITCHES, checking out the latest STITCHES eBook is a great way to get an idea of what you might see at STITCHES East.

pet and buy lots of yarn!
Walk around with my mouth open trying to decide what to do first!
Do lots of organizing in a newly renovated room made to hold lots of yarn!
Love it, Love it, Love it……such creativity and beauty….
Walk around, try to take in everything and then make decision what to do next!
I would be over the moon with awe, and loving every minute of it! Taking my best friend with me would only add icing to the cake! This event sounds like it would be Heaven on Earth for the both of us; I just can’t imagine.
I’d be taking classes up the yazoo! Walking the exhibit floor & purchasing as much as I possibly could to help with the economy. I already have the 4 days off in anticipation.
Classes, marketplace and making new friends!
Look around and try to decide what to buy.
Meet new people, and admire other’s work. Also feel like a “pig in slop” with all the yarns.
Bring lots of money & and a large suitcase!
Buy yarn and patterns and maybe take some classes.
I will spent every single min to look at books and yarns and try my very best to input all the stuffs that is new to me about knitting and crochet and spinning yarns! So excited!
I would be thrilled to meet Myra Wood, since I learned so much from her through a craftsy class when I first started knitting!
I would learn how to knit.
