I have made a decision. That decision is that we will not be attending Vogue Knitting Live in New York next week as planned. When you initially make plans, you envision that all will flow nicely into achieving those things.
However in early fall my other full time dyer had to start working half days due to family commitments. In late fall 2017 and through our Christmas season there has been a perfect storm of staff sickness and absences which has meant that the Miss Babs studio has not been fully staffed most of December into January.
The result of this is that we have not been able to create the yarns needed for the full presentation at VKL as we had planned. And there simply has not been enough time on this side of Christmas to finish creating those yarns. For this reason, we cannot present a cohesive and complete selection which is always my standard and expectation.
It has been a tough decision since we were truly looking forward to attending the show, but we have finally realized that we simply can’t attend with an array that we would feel comfortable with.

So understandable. We all want to think we can go, go, go…reality is no, no, no.
Family first. I love that about your company! To have such wonderful product made with love that is what is important! Thank you for putting people first!❤️
I am not sure why some have to be negative! My mother always said circumstances alter cases! I was lucky enough to find Miss Babs a year ago, and have been utterly delighted with not only the product, but the customer service and care. Cut them some slack Lynne!
I’m so sorry – I was looking forward to seeing you there! Please try again next year.
I get it! Miss Babs is a family! When family sees that the future plans are not favorable for its members changes need to be made. Good for you for putting family first!! No sense in making sick people work extra hard, over the holidays nonetheless, to get to VKL! sick, grumpy, and impatient!!! Who wants that!!
I am relieved to hear that everyone is doing well and that you’ll be back to doing what you love!
I wish you nothing but the best in the new year… now back to knitting my Yowza Shawl!!
