TNNA 2015 Awesomeness

Hello!!! I have so much to share with you today. Before I go on (and on) (and on) about the TNNA summer needlearts trade show, I have a little business to tell you.

Summer schedule: This is going to be a crazy summer for my family and I. We have so many plans! I will not neglect you, I will still post at least 5 times a week. Considering all I want to share with you this summer, it may be more than that!! However, there will be some changes to what is posted when.
Thursdays will still be patterns ~ knit patterns on the first Thursday of the month, and crochet patterns on the remaining Thursdays.
Sundays will still be link blast on social media from 8 to 9 pm eastern time, with a compilation of the links posted here just after 9.
Wednesdays will still be pattern round ups, however, starting in a couple weeks they will each feature a specific designer. Sometimes they will include a coupon code and/or a giveaway for one or more pattern by the designer. They will not all be free patterns. Most of the designers I will be featuring have at least a few free patterns, and as long as they do, I will share some of the free patterns along with some sale patterns. I am REALLY excited about introducing you to other designers.
The rest of the week will be a variety of posts. Most will be yarn related, with some posts about my crazy summer adventures tossed in. There will be giveaways! Lots of giveaways! Some will be patterns from the designers I feature, but there will also be yarn and yarn related products. This summer is going to be a blast, and the fun is going to continue into the fall.

So, almost 2 weeks ago now, I went off to the Summer 2015 TNNA Needlearts Trade Show

News and New Things!

Wait!! Don’t go! You are in the right place!

I know, it’s all shiny and new over here. I needed a new look. The old one was a little too chaotic for me. I really like this look. I’m not quite done, but I like where it is going.

I am also going back through a lot of the old patterns/tutorials/videos and such. There are images to fix and tags to attach, and just lots of behind the scenes stuff that I really didn’t know when I was just doing this as a hobby. It’s a lot of work, but I have the house to myself for the weekend, so I should be able to put a big dent in it.

New things!! Lots of news and new things to share with you.

The first month of 2015 is almost over, and there has been so much awesomeness already! I don’t know that I will get it all in here today, but here is some of the fun news of the last 3 weeks.

I’m sure most of you have noticed this one already, but the very first block of The 2015 Moogly Afghan Crochet-Along is my Tamara’s Kismet Square!!! I have the niftiest friends! Actually, all the squares in this year’s CAL will be from a group of wonderful designers that I spend a lot of time with on social media. I have even had the joy of meeting several of them in person, including Tamara. 🙂
