Earlier this spring, I flew out to Cleveland, Ohio and spent a couple of days with the crew of Knitting Daily TV. Not only did I get to meet Interweave Knits Editor Eunny Jang who is also the host of KDTV (that’s us on set, to the right), but I also got to film three…

Earlier this month, Lion Brand Yarn sponsored the Crochet Guild of America’s Professional Development Day and exhibited at the Knit and Crochet Show in Manchester, New Hampshire. Here at Lion Brand we truly enjoy being a part of the consumer shows because it gives us a chance reach out to the public. Having our booth…

One of the most fun things about going to shows is seeing all the wonderful things our customers make with our yarn! Last week I got to go to the Knit & Crochet show in Manchester, NH, where a few of our customers stopped by the booth to show off their wonderful projects.  Some were…

This is a guest post from Mike D., whose last blog post was about our company bowling night. Have you ever seen 426 people simultaneously crocheting? If you are saying “yes,” then it could be that you were at Citi Field on June 5th for Stitch N Pitch. While I was not one of the…

Most of you probably already know that I go to speak at local guilds and knitting & crochet groups in the area. A few weeks ago, I visited the Long Island Knitting Guild, and I had a great time. As with many knitting & crochet groups, one of the fun parts of getting together is…

At the end of April, Andrea (one of our great Lion Brand Yarn Studio staffers) and I headed down to Atlanta, Georgia for Stitches South. It’s only Lion Brand’s second time to Stitches ever and our first time to Stitches South, so it was a exciting experience for us, as well as the hundreds of…

This is a guest post from Mike D. in our New Jersey office: At Lion Brand, we enjoy a company get-together that is casual and gives us a chance to talk, knit or crochet, and play at the same time. Sure it may seem odd to walk into a bowling alley, and see people knitting…

I snapped this photo of our marketing team (minus me behind the camera) last week.  What are they doing?  Why, assessing retail trends in the seasonal aisle of a craft store, of course! I wanted you to meet the team and to show that we do love our work, we wear a lot of hats…

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of speaking to the wonderful women of the Westchester Knitting Guild. It is always a delight to speak to this guild because they are so full of passion and excitement. During my presentation I showed them all of the new products Lion Brand has to offer, as…
