...uncharted territory...

I'm leaving tomorrow morning, bright and early, for something I have never done before.  It's something that I have had in the back of my mind for quite some time and several months ago I thought it's now or never, so I filled out my application, got my letters of introduction and it all fell into place.

I'm headed to TNNA's winter trade show in San Diego!  This is a national trade show for yarn companies, teachers, designers, etc.  I'm really excited to be going.

What's more exciting is that I will be releasing a new pattern while I'm there.  Lorajean of Knitted Wit is hosting me in her booth, along side my good friend Carrie.

I've got a new scarf design called Spring Mix that features Lorajean's beautiful single fingering.  The yarn is a dream to work with and shows lace patterns beautifully.  The pattern will be available in a kit that will be offered Friday night at SAMPLE IT !  But if you can't make it to TNNA to see this new pattern here is a sneak peak...


Carrie will have a new design there also and I can't wait to see it and her!

I'll be taking some classes while I'm there, too.  I'll fill you in more on that when I get home. 

I'm a little nervous about all of this.  I'm not sure what to expect or what I'll learn or who I'll meet, but  boy am I ready!  Onward!
