Last month, I went to my first in-person event since before-times: the PLY Away Marketplace at the Westin in downtown Kansas City. With a three year gap since my last convention experience, I was super rusty - for instance, the only photo I took while I was there was this banner in the lobby outside of the marketplace:
I suppose a selfie with my pal Laura would have been appropriate, although we both masked while we shopped so it really would have just been a photo of our eyeballs (I'm just a huge germophobe, but that's another story entirely).
Anyway, I think this is the last year that the event will be held in Kansas City, so I'm glad I was able to come out of my self-imposed hibernation and take a spin through the marketplace. It was a really great mix of vendors, and although I practiced a considerable amount of self-restraint, a few goodies did end up coming home with me:
(clockwise from top left):
1. Enby hat kit from Shirsty Cat Designs
2. 3D printed yarn bowl from Wrightfully Sew
3. Beautiful hand-dyed Kona fabric fat quarters from Apothefaery
4. Cute enamel pins from Channy Pea's Corner
And I've already finished knitting the hat kit - isn't it cute?!
I have no idea when I'll get to another yarn/fiber event since there aren't nearly as many that happen in the KC metro area, but I'm glad I made it to one last PLY Away!
