In March of this year, the Hobby & Handarbeit (commonly referred to as simply H+H) trade show took place in Cologne, Germany. This yearly event attracts 370 exhibitors and over 15,000 trade visitors from all over the world, and KnitPro is proud to take part by exhibiting our wide range of needles, hooks and accessories for knitters and crocheters (for those of you who might be wondering, Knitter's Pride products are sold outside of North America under the KnitPro brand).
This is also when we introduce our newest additions to the KnitPro product lineup, and we enjoy getting a chance to chat with visitors to our booth each year.
Another great thing about attending H+H is to get a peek at the emerging trends in the handcraft industry. This video from the H+H YouTube Channel does a great job of sharing some of the inspirational ideas we spotted at this year's show:
More recently, our needles and hooks were found at YarnCon, which is an indie yarn and fiber festival which takes place each spring in Chicago, IL.
In addition to being part of the yarn tasting area, Knitter's Pride products were found in the Gnome Creation Station, which was an area where visitors could knit or crochet a small gnome toy to be included in an upcoming art installation in Seoul, South Korea.
The installation will be created by Anna Hrachovec of MochiMochiland, who recently put out a call to crafters near and far to donate their gnomes for the cause, dubbed #ProjectGnomeDiplomacy. You can read more about the project here on Anna's blog; we look forward to seeing it take shape later this summer!
