TNNA 2011 YarnThing Designer Dinner

Marly Bird organized a Designer Dinner for Friday night at TNNA. 50-60 of the biggest names in the industry gathered to have fun and get acquainted.  Benjamin Levisay, from XRX Publishing and Knitter's Magazine (and the organizer of the STITCHES events across the country) was the primary sponsor of the night.  XRX Publishing provided all the designers with a copy of Gwen Bortner's Book, Entree to Entrelac.
