Kitten mittens

Well not really kitten mittens, but they are as soft as a kitten. I really loved making these, and will be making more in the near future.

Yes, I'm in my PJs, and Harley loves to eat knitted projects.

This spring has turned out to be super busy. A good friend of mine, Hilary, invited me a few months ago to attend The National NeedleArts Association trade show in Indianapolis, Indiana. Say that 3 times fast! So last Friday I flew out and joined Hilary for the weekend. I met so many wonderful designers (fiber), and shared some great stories.

I never really tried designing my own stuff, nor do I really know where to start, but after this weekend I'm sure going to try. I'm up for the challenge. Oh and when I came home Rick had surprise waiting for me. Basically, he converted an old door way into a chalk board in my craft room. He has minor details to finish up, and I'll post a photo.

And this week I'm headed to Boston by train for the HOW design conference. I've only spend a day in Boston, so I'm looking forward to a whole week. I'm a history buff, so I'll be in the right place.

Knitting wise, I've got project lined up. I just finished these beautiful mittens by Pepperberry Knits. I'll post when they are finished blocking. I also have a few baby things started. Another baby boom is happening.

Anyway... Here are a few photos from TNNA.

Hilary, @yarniad, working her magic.
