Class from Toni Lipsey, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Has a new book The Tunisian Crochet Handbook.

Fabrics\u2013jelly rolls, fat quarters and other fabrics. Japanese fabrics,\xa0

Trends\u2013red, black, grey combinations are in every booth. This is not something that we saw a lot before. Another color trend: orange. Another one but a little less is petal pink, often looking like it was overdyed on a natural colored fiber or with a darker color overwash or glaze over the pink\u2013or maybe that was just something I was drawn to this time.\xa0

Feels really safe in the convention center, checked Vax card and ID upon entry, name tag has distance declaration sticker code\u2013hugs ok, elbow bump only, and 6 feet distance please. Crowd was light at the Thursday preview. Hotel lobby bar people are drinking and eating so many fewer masks.

Friday's crowd was also light, but there were some crowded booths. Everyone seems so happy to be buying yarn. One vendor said sales were fewer, but the average sale was higher.\xa0

Saturday was the busiest market day as usual. But the market was smaller and we had finished looking at the whole thing, plus visiting with people we saw there, within a couple hours of entering.
