STITCHES Live

This is a shot from the Ravelry gathering on Thursday night. Team Rav, Sarah, Mary-Heather, Benjamin & Molly (of XRX), Jess, & Casey.

The highly anticipated Pajama Party at STITCHES South 2010 took place on Friday night, after the Fashion Show Dinner. It was seriously Tweeted and reTweeted. The event was casual in the extreme. I wore my STITCHES signature pink flannel pajamas. Kristi and I grabbed some junk food from the munchie buffet and settled in to knit and watch everyone else win prizes (we qualify for that "xrx employees and their immediate family are not eligible..." disclaimer.)

Here's a close up.

Here are a few more XRX buds. These are the ones that rule my world when I'm not enjoying my own little universe in the STITCHES Live booth.

CEO Benjamin Levisay, Elaine Rowely (the "R" in XRX), Marketing Director Lisa Mannes, and Knitter's Editor Rick Mondragon got cozy in a corner of the hotel lobby to check out some upcoming ads as PDF's. The verdict? Yes--No--No... back to the drawing board (Thanks and here we go again, Leticia and Production!).

See our Online Galleries of Past STITCHES Postcards!

This is my pal, and yours, "Trixi." She is the semi-official mascot at STITCHES South. You will find her also in my booth, ready to pose with you for a framed, ready for emailing, photo-momento. These digital postcards have been a hit for years. You should add yourself to our online gallery!

Although lying down on the job is not in Kristi's job description, I think we should cut her some slack (and Jason, and me...) for hauling ALL THE BAGS OF GIFTS to storage until the Student Banquet Saturday night. The sponsors have gone overboard supplying STITCHES Attendees with door prizes and give-aways—so much that my fingers are never going to be the same!

Susie and Mark from Kollage Yarns, and Benjamin, XRX CEO, are all ready with their fuzzy pink bunny slippers. Get your ears on, too, for the Pajama Party in lobby of the Marriott, tonight after the Fashion Show Dinner.

Check my older posts for the Pajama Party pics from West 2010. This time I expect an even bigger turn out (and more give-aways?)!

Here are my nearest buds-by-proximity and choice. Many of you know Molly and Krisiti, both way more in-the-know than me, and also pleasantly helpful and friendly. You will find Kristi in the Knitter's Booth 100, and you will find Molly everywhere, all the time.

And don't forget to stand in the beam of our LIVE streaming Web Cam. Look for the "X." If you find it you are close. I'll be close, then, too, so ask me and I'll be able to set you up to call a friend and have a little virtual face time with someone not here.

I never quite get to shop as much as I want, but I do get some great tips. Lisa drug me over to the Sit 'n Knit booth she showed me the most adorable felted bags!

The pic shows a Noni Tulip Tote, and inside you can see a Sheep Bag. You have to go see Booth 612!

In case you don't know me, I'm Natalie, the one in the SITCHES Live Booth.


I am part of STITCHES staff, and operate as Carolyn (at the INFO Booth)'s second when in comes to having answers to many of the Market Floor questions, or at least having really strong opinions which are both totally free.
