I don't need one, it's just such a magnet for a tech geek like me. These machines fascinate me.<br />I too looked at the Tess yarn and wish now that I had bought some of the gray black silk. It was bee-yooo-tee-ful!Knits4Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11481758325727194929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17364963.post-69825829303024011122009-04-29T11:49:00.000-04:002009-04-29T11:49:00.000-04:00You are a lot more observant than I am, but then a...You are a lot more observant than I am, but then again, if a booth didn't look inviting, I didn't step in. It does seem, however, that there are more unfriendly shop owners than is reasonable. You got some lovely things. I didn't get anything at Tess, but I sure did like their yarns.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987195895122894661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17364963.post-71598944573244652432009-04-28T19:59:00.000-04:002009-04-28T19:59:00.000-04:00And let's not forget that the vendors behavior OUT...And let's not forget that the vendors behavior OUTSIDE of the event is just as important. One vendor has lost my business since she showed her ass on Ravelry in regards to this event and the fun activities planned around it.turtlegirl76https://www.blogger.com/profile/04224031164435800839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17364963.post-91773847756374279542009-04-28T18:21:00.000-04:002009-04-28T18:21:00.000-04:00Silly Witch, you and Wayne are great, and your boo...Silly Witch, you and Wayne are great, and your booth was inviting, your yarn beautiful and the shopkeepers friendly.

But I also missed a lot of other stuff, because I was actually pretty focused on what I wanted and not so much on the whole browsing thing. Of course, now I wish I'd browsed MORE. Oh well, next year.<br /><br />I will agree that the Webs salespeople were totally evil enablers. (Cone of alpaca/silk, I'm looking at YOU.) They were awesome.Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17364963.post-67707298691909998402009-04-28T15:52:00.000-04:002009-04-28T15:52:00.000-04:00I think that running a business and selling to the...I think that running a business and selling to the public may require different skill sets. Clearly the people at some of the booths lacked the second set of skills. If a vendor isn't going to make the effort to be personable and helpful, s/he should hire someone who can or stay home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17364963.post-51958955775489260622009-04-28T14:36:00.000-04:002009-04-28T14:36:00.000-04:00AGREE AGREE AGREE!

Meaning that if you are overheard badmouthing someone else, it's likely that someone who knows the person you are badmouthing personally. And won't hesitate sharing that info with friends.<br /><br />I know at least two vendors lost my AND my friends' business that way. <br /><br />I didn't experience any problems with people not helping me, but then again, I really didn't need a lot of help. <br /><br />Big round of applause for Webbs, though, and their lovely, nice, and TOTALLY ENABLING booth employees, who got me to cough up more money for yarn there than anywhere else.evilsciencechickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03694103743257517771noreply@blogger.com
