I just got back from TNNA last night; and while I was sad to leave all my yarn brethren, I’m glad to be back home in Birmingham. I talked to designers, authors, yarn dyers, manufacturers, editors, and bloggers; my head is now SWIMMING with new ideas. So many creative types in one place, good ideas are bound to follow.
I also gave my fellow yarn folks a sneak preview of a brand-spankin’-new colorway this weekend. Stay tuned this week for a big announcement about this colorway for a cause; I’m very excited about the project and I think from the response garnered this weekend it should have a great impact.
Of course, while we were in Columbus, OH, Elwood had to meet some of the crowd of knitting luminaries! Here are a few celebrity sightings:
Elwood and Annie
Annie Modesitt, just moments after she showed off the crazy-amazing knitted Sutton Hoo mask she’s creating for her next book. And giving them the eye, Nathania Apple!
Elwood and Amy
Amy Singer, editor extraordinaire of Knitty.com, using Elwood as a human duck shield.
Jillian and Elwood
Jillian Moreno of Knitty.com; the next day we got to go ’shopping’ the TNNA booths for yarn for a Knitty project I’ll be doing. And that’s all I can say about that!
The Ravelry Kids, Cat and Elwood
Sarah, Mary Heather, Jess, and Casey from Ravelry, and the always mind-blowing Cat Bordhi. Like I said, TNNA is chock full o’ knitting luminaries and celebrities; and they’re always great company!
Elwood and ...
And who is this mystery man, you ask? One of the most crucial figures of the evening. The bartender!
Check back for our big announcement tomorrow!
