This was our sixth annual trip to the TNNA show. We have friends that are designers for needlepoint canvas, and get to help with their booth. Most of our time is spent walking around, looking at fall fashions, feeling fabulous yarn. We cannot buy, but it is so fun to dream of future projects.

Highlights from our trip.

~Getting lost while on our drive to Columbus, Ohio, and seeing this sign on the side of the road.
~Visiting with the wonderful people at Swedish Yarn, and trying on Hanna Falkenberg designs. I hope to make the Plisse one day.

~Meeting Debbie Bliss. Listening to her chat happily with my mother ( about knitting and various other things) while my sisters and I tried on her fall collection. She is just as lovely as her yarn and patterns.

~Seeing my favorite person at Classic Elite, and trying on a sweater that I can't stop thinking about.

~Stepping into the Amy Butler booth and being totally inspired. Wanting to make gum drop pillows. Seeing her new line of bags called Sweet Life.

~Lorna's Laces, Offhand Designs, Nicky Epstein, cables, lace and hues of blue.

~Celebrating a sisters Birthday.

~Eating pizza at our favorite local pizza joint.

~Getting jammied up early with wine, cheese, crackers and our knitting.

~Using "not so much" every time we thought appropriate.

~Spending quality time with my mother and sisters. Laughing until we cried.

I quickly checked in on my bloglines and boy are they lit up! I have my favorite 7 year old home with a fever(how could he, with the count down on), but will be trying to get in my "reads". :)
