I forgot to share about the market at VK Live Chicago, which was fun to explore.    Aside from all of the beautiful yarn, needles and accessories, there was some very creative knitting being displayed.  I was very inspired by all of the color, shapes and the ingenuity of knitters.  I also got to meet Nicki Epstein, who is truly one of my heroes.  She is a lovely person, and I enjoyed talking with her.
