While in Chicago, Mikey is meeting with executives & editors of AllFreeCrochet, AllFreeKnitting, FaveCrafts, and CutRateCrafts for the very first time. It is an exciting journey as Mikey has participated with these fine online websites for over a year in celebrating free resources to consumers.

Last but not least, one of the biggest events they are participating in is the Designer Showcase.

It is their hope to be introduced to new opportunities as they move forward in providing free content online to the millions of viewers that turn to them to inspire creativity.
