Sheep Incognito at Virginia-Highland Summerfest

Conni Tögel, the artist who paints Sheep Incognito, will have a booth at the Virginia-Highlands Summerfest this weekend. You might have seen Sheep Incognito at Stitches South 2009. Summerfest was voted "Best Neighborhood Festival" in Creative Loafing, and is considered one of the best artists' markets in the Southeast.

The festival hours are:

• Saturday, June 6 from 10 am - 6:30 pm
• Sunday, June 7 from 11 am - 6 pm

Atlanta Knitting guild members are eligible for a 10% discount off of in-stock Sheep Incognito artworks and prints (but not books or calendars). Email blog@atlantaknittingguild.org for the coupon.

Good Press

The Summer 2009 Knitter's magazine has arrived. This one is particularly Atlanta-friendly, and not just because the models were photographed here. Our knitted flowers are featured in the article "Atlanta Blooms" on pages 6-7. Also, local resident Betty Salpekar features prominently in the long article about the Think Outside the SOX contest. If you are going to sit back and read a little as well as knit, then here's some happy reading material.
