Pittsburgh Knit & Crochet Festival 2024

Registration was not done well. Actually, a group at the end of the line bypassed everyone to come to the front, because their class was going to start . The people at the front of the line were told to go ahead to class, but it was not communicated to those in the back. People who had been waiting patiently, didn’t appreciate being passed by that group of people. I didn’t feel crochet was represented very well at the vendors. The yarn was beautiful, which obviously is used by both, but hardly any crochet patterns anywhere!😢 I’m not going to lie.. this was my first time, and I was a little disappointed. I guess I’m going to have to learn to knit. That being said, people running this were very friendly.

A great array of classes and exhibiters!Loved the whole weekend.

I attended 4 sessions and 3/4 WERE fantastic. I left with new ideas for crochet patterns, learned new stitches and enjoyed the shared knowledge of class members. My only disappointment was the opening meeting. There was no audio for the session and the instructors had to cover 10 tables with the same info. I did not feel there was any meat to the session. I am hoping they compensate the nearly 100 participants in some manner.

Turn out was less then anticipated. We did well on Saturday when there was good traffic which shows our product sells well but Sunday and Friday were poor and as a result we barely broke even with expenses. Not sure we will attend next year.
