Customer Service prepares for the July catalog!

[Kim]

Here's a sneak peak behind the scenes at Crafts Americana... Each division (Knit Picks, Connecting Threads, and Artists Club) does a review presentation to Customer Service. We review the new projects, techniques, yarns (fabrics, surfaces) and tools that will be appearing in the next catalog. I took some pictures from yesterdays meeting to share with you (sorry about the location, conference room was in use, so the presentation was done out in the warehouse!)

These first pictures are of me sharing a couple of new Knit Picks projects...
Lacy Cardigan from Knitting Goes Large, knit in Risata Seedling:

Thistle Design Balmoral from Second Book of Modern Lace Knitting, knit in Gloss Lace Cypress.

Here's The Connecting Threads team sharing the wonderful quilts and new fabric lines coming out (I want 2 of everything!!!!):

and Artist's Club (doesn't it make you want to go learn to paint!!!!)

the shawl is beautiful, there's no doubt about it... the catalog will definitely have a better picture!!! :-)

I love the behind-the-scenes posting. It makes me wish I were there, especially to see that shawl in person!

[Kim]

Glad to see you all are liking this... it's fun sharing the behind-the-scenes stuff...

Peggy, I'd almost come out of retirement to do one of these jobs. S

Kim,
Love that Santa, but I'm not going to learn to paint... I've still got too much to learn about knitting... And I always anticipate greatly the upcoming catalogs. Love to get them, keep every one. Susan

Where were you when I had to work? I love retirement, but it looks like all of you have fun jobs! --Peggy

I agree--I want one of everything, too!! I'd better get busy on the UFOs to be ready!!
