One of my favorite things about the STITCHES events, besides the fashion show, is the marketplace. I love walking around the booths and checking out the latest yarns from all of my favorite companies. The vendors always bring their best game-faces to STITCHES; the marketplace is one of the best places to find amazing yarns. Even if you aren’t planning on buying anything, just wandering around and looking at all the amazing things on display is worth the price of admission. I always leave STITCHES with tons of new ideas for my knitting (not to mention lots of new yarn).
It’s not always possible to make it to a STITCHES event. Life has a way of intervening and derailing even the best laid plans. If you aren’t going to be able to make it to one of the STITCHES events this year, we can bring the marketplace to you! AllFreeKnitting is giving away a second STITCHES Grand Prize that will really knock your socks off.

i Would love to experiment with all the yarns,,,,,,,,,,,,especially since i only have 1 color of yarn right now……………..
Crochet is my happy place, it allows me to destress and to unwind while at the same time create beautiful items such as afghans, scarves, baby blankets and purses.
I would love to try all of these yarns. We live in a rural area and don’t have acess to many different yarns.I mainly crochet for our great grandbaby (7mos) and charity for preemies and hospitals in low income cities.
These are wonderful colors for a bedspread or so many other projects including lovely lacy shawls, cardigans…. wonderful! 🙂
Oh, there’s some lovely hats and scarves in those yarns! My nieces and nephews would so enjoy them.
I would just have to knit up a beautiful shawl with these gorgeous yarns!
I spend my crocheting time making hats for the chemo unit where my friend is having treatments. any yarn I have goes to that…this would be no exception.
I see lovely scarves, hats, and blankets from this wonderful stash.
I love crocheting baby things for friends/family who are expecting…hats, sweaters, afghans, toys. All the grandkids get hats, scarves and afghans too 🙂
I will for sure be doing a baby blanket and then who knows. I should think about getting started on Christmas gifts.
Would probably do baby blankets and hats and donate to the hospital.
I love to crochet and make gifts for my grandchildren. I am starting to crochet baby blankets, prayer shawls, etc. and donate them to cancer center at Oklahoma University Medical Center. I had a very dear friend lose a 2 yr. old grandson to cancer so this has become what I am planning on doing. He was at OU medical center – such a caring place.
I would make prayer shawls and chemo caps, etc., for charity.
I’d give the yarn to ladies in our parish prayer shawl ministry who can’t always afford yarn, but are more than willing to “knit for the Lord” so we have prayer shawls to share with anyone who is experiencing any kind of pain and just needs a “hug from God” to remind them of His Infinite Love for them!
I love to crochet…afghans, scarves, kitchen placemats, cotton dishcloths, flowers…anything. If I personally don’t have a use for something I crochet, I donate my items to a worthwhile resale shop.

My nephew and his wife live in Chicago and are having their first child. They are the only ones in my family that live somewhere where they need hats and scarves and now with the baby there are so many things I can make for them for the coming winter months.
Between my daughters and nieces, there are 7 girls (no boys) on that side of the family. The girls are ages 17-26 and now I have a 6 month old great niece too! I would love to make them scarves with quality (grown up) yarn as they are all starting their careers, starting families and going off to college. It’s hard when you are a crocheter like me to see your family buy “boutique” or mall items, when you know you could make something even better!
I would make things for my GREAT-GRAND BABY that is on the way. (I’m too young (61) to be a great-granny LOL) I’m making all my Christmas gifts this year and since I am unemployed with no SS yet, I could really use this wonderful gift.
