Jill and Susan are meeting in Indianapolis this week at The

buying opportunity (picture all the yarn in one big place); we also
have a booth to sell YNotKnit and Y2Knit patterns.
Y2Knit has two entries in the TNNA fashion show, featuring four
garments, three of which are new patterns that will be available soon.

The Y2Knit mailing center in historic Funkstown, MD is sending
out packages daily. Susan loves to walk from Y2Knit to the post
office and has had to dig out a wheeled cart to haul all the
packages.
YNotKnit has been reviewed in publications, on the Cast On
podcast and in several blogs.
Check out the reviews and articles.
If you are a thrower (English knitter) this is the perfect way
for you to learn Continental knitting too. We are both converted
throwers and we think Continental knitting is so great we wrote a
book about it!

The inspiration for this
meditation cushion/foot stool came from a stool seen in a
catalog. It seemed like the perfect knitting project. Try using a
blown up beach ball for the stuffing--easy to insert, no mess, and
it's comfy for sitting on.
