Barrison’s Travels: TNNA Columbus
As I mentioned in last week's TNNA in Review, Barrison tagged along on our recent trip to Columbus, OH for The National Needlearts Association's summer trade show. She really enjoyed meeting new people, but if I had to guess, I'd say her favorite part was probably the food! She got her first taste of strawberries, steak and… Continue reading Barrison’s Travels: TNNA Columbus

Norah’s Knits: Pattern Search Tips
I love change, it’s exciting and stimulating - energizing, even....BUT sometimes when you are used to doing something a particular way, especially when it comes to computers, something new can slow you down. I’m thinking about the pattern search on our new (well, 6 month old) website. It is SO great to see all of… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: Pattern Search Tips
