First some Knitting, then some Mr. T

First off, let me show you some knitting. I have plenty of it... Especially seeing as I have spent the past month knitting and doing family/holiday/travelling stuff and clearly, not blogging stuff. It's been nice but it's time to get back to this. Because- I like it.

So, I will start by showing you a year late Christmas gift. I gave a friend one clog last Christmas, and finally got around to giving the other this Christmas. I love these things and I think, I especially love this pair. I'm glad I love my friend because it was far too tempting to keep them for myself. I did them out of Galway and have decided that is my #1 favorite stuff to felt with. I have felted with plenty of yarns before... but for me, this one wins.


I am going to stop with the finished projects talk for this post because if I continued with all that I have knitted in the past month, this post would be never-ending. Instead, I'll save them and make some more posts throughout the week. I must share one quick thing with you though before I sign off entirely.

My mom and I went to TNNA this past week in Long Beach, California. It is a tradeshow for shop owners where classes were taught, a marketplace was open with 800 vendors and knitting and needlework people were happy. It was a super trip and we have come back with lots of new ideas, and new inspiration.

The marketplace was overwhelming at points, but thrilling through and through. I would have taken a picture of it for you but I don't think I was allowed to, plus I had left my camera at the hotel to lighten my load. Here is a 'beach shot' instead- just in case you didn't believe that I actually went.


I had the opportunity to take a class with Cat Bordhi and Kaffe Fassett- both wonderful teachers. If you ever get the chance to take a class with them, take it.

But, the highlight of the trip?

My encounter with the incredible Mr. T. I apologize for not having some knitting in my pocket for him to pose with. It would have been... entirely priceless. Next time.
