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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Anyway... Here are a few photos from TNNA.<br />

It's been about 6 weeks now that we brought our newest member of the family home. Her name is Harley, aka Harley bear, Barely, or Harley badger. She is a Rhodesian ridgeback, and full of energy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We believe she will get up to about 80-90lbs when she is full grown. Big girl. And I look forward to updating you guys with photos and stories.</div>

On the knitting and traveling front, I just came back from a wonderful trip to San Francisco, my second home. I visited so many friends and places. I even attended Stitches West with Hilary, Sophy, Erica and Marcus. It was so amazing to see them again. I've missed them way too much.<br />
<br />
Right now I'm working on a few projects. This one in particular that I'm excited about. They are called Pepperberry Knits: Karen Double Layer Mittens. I've got one down and started on the second. Just in time for spring.<br />
I am also working on another baby blanket. However, I'm not so sure who its for ... yet.<br />
<br />
Below are some photos for my adventures:<br />

I can't believe it. So much has gone on. We moved, and what a move it was; From San Francisco to the beautiful country side of Pennsylvania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our journey began September 4, 2012 and lasted 3 weeks on the road in an RV with an elderly cat that had altitude sickness. We found out the hard way at the Grand Canyon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The trip was quite wonderful and adventurous. We pretty much zig-zagged our way through the states. We started out 3 days in Yosemite, continued to Bodie (the ghost town), entered into Nevada, almost hit a cow (damn you, free ranges!!), stayed at the Alien Inn, moved our way to the Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and saw the most breathtaking views of our country. Words can't even describe how beautiful it is. We then moved onto Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota to see the true old west, stayed overnight in a few Walmart parking lots, then headed south through Iowa, Missouri, and into Kentucky for some cave dwelling and bourbon. We then moved into our final leg towards West Virginia and Pennsylvania. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And of course, I had a great knitting project to keep me busy during the long stretches of road. I made the owl sweater!! Totally cute.</span><br />

It's like Christmas morning. I just expanded my craftiness. My good friend and Philly sister, Sophy, was getting rid of her sewing machine. So I couldn't say no. It's so beautiful. <br />
<br />
I'm not the best at sewing or reading patterns, but I'm going to learn the best I can. Tonight I practiced straight stitches and hems. After figuring out that my bobbin was too big, and replacing it with a smaller one, I was off and running on my first project. My mom would be proud.<br />

SO much has happened and is happening. My hubs and I decided that we want to move back east in September so we are full on packing, looking for a house, and traveling cross country in an RV. Not only that, I tore ligaments in my ankle, so I'm in the boot for most of the summer. Which makes packing hard to do. Little by Little it's getting done. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While I've been rest my foot I've been knitting like crazy! There have been babies galore lately, so my little fingers have been working out! But I've also taken time to make myself a few things. I'll start posting and catching up on them tonight.
Well, more posts to come.</span><br />

Happy holiday and a happy new year! Second, my wonderful mother-in-law gave me a ton of old Susan Bates, Boni Jean, and Marcia Lynn stuff. My question to you all is...do I use it or keep it untouched? I don't think they are worth anything, but, you just never know.<br />

Yarn, Yarn Everywhere<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That's what my living room floor is saying right now. This week started out a bit scary; a lovely trip to the hospital in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, but the week ended up being very fun. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My third attendance to Stitches West was this weekend with the girls. So much fun, even though my camera phone just didn't do it justice. I crossed paths with this Russian designer, Galina Khmeleva of Skaska Designs, who did a gorgeous Orenburg-style knitted lace scarf with a Honeycomb (</span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sotki</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in Russian) pattern. I fell in love. I just have to make it for someone special.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, after a few hours, several onion rings and a few skeins of yarn, I was exhausted. Here are a few captured moments. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Friday I had my first crochet lesson with my good friend Pat. I was surprised that I picked it up in a matter of 15 minutes! So I crocheted my first hat. Then after was all said and done realized that half way through I had crochet backwards! But I went with it, and it gave the hat a nice little texture. Hopefully in the near future I can make the correct pattern, but I'm proud that I faced my crochet fears! Now I'll have to buy some crochet needle at Stitches West this weekend.</span><br />
