Okay! After a bit of technical (ahem human) difficulty, I finally have my set of Hello from TNNA photos up on flickr!
Mary-Heather also created a Hello from TNNA flickr pool so please feel free to add your TNNA photos to the group!
Lastly, a few thank yous:
Thank you so much to the entire TNNA community for being such good sports as we ran around the floor taking photos and videos. We didn’t have a single person who didn’t want to participate!
Special thanks to the TNNA board and Joel Woodcock for being so enthusiastic about all our crazy ideas for this June’s show.
And finally, thank you to Julie of symposi.com for working with us on our Hello from TNNA site design- another awesome job!
Maybe we’ll see you again in January! ;)
- Jess, Casey, Mary-Heather and Sarah
Abuelita Yarns has a new laceweight that is super squishy! They travel from Uruguay to share their yarns with us at TNNA.
Della Q has these great new travel wallets to hold everything you need to keep knitting and crocheting on the road!
The show floor has been broken down and we are all on our way home.
We still have a few more entries to post here so stay tuned!
I will also be posting some pretty photos to a Hello from TNNA set as soon as I can.

Michelle and Adam Gardner of Bo-Peep Fine Yarns (http://bopeepfineyarns.com) in Ligonier, PA demonstrate their own invention - adjustable length circular needles. The cable slides in and out of the hollow needle body and there is a twist mechanism that locks in the length that you need.
Fair Trade Knitters is available to knit samples for knitting wholesalers. From swatches to sweaters, their talented knitting staff, a group of women in Ecuador, can do it all!
The Nantucket Bagg Company has two new colors of their Reversable Diddy Bagg - bright pink and green. This bag can be zipped completely open to be used with the pockets on the inside or outside, and you can even use it as a tool bag or a backpack!
Kristy Lucas, Finisher, loves to wrap up those knitwear projects- check her out on Ravelry (origamiangel578) if you need help!
Finally found Clara Parkes! Be sure to check out her fabulous TNNA recap on Knitter’s Review!
Jasmine, from Abstract Fiber of Portland, Oregon, has a bright and beautiful booth full of yarns and fibers dyed with custom-blended acid dyes. The wall of fiber is a stunner!
It’s the first Summer TNNA for Clever Yarn, and they’re having a great show! Their colorful booth is full of beautiful Estonian wool.
Brown Sheep Company has a new laceweight yarn! Legacy Lace has 1500 yards per skein (and smaller skeins too!) and is made from superwash wool and nylon. It is so soft!
Stacy Charles and Diane Friedman from Tahki • Stacy Charles show off two lovely garments out of the classic Donegal Tweed and the new Montana Print.
St-Denis Yarns’ Nordique is available in a range of colors. The sweater here is the cover sweater from the Spring/Summer issue of the St Denis magazine.
Erica from Kollage Yarns took the time to chat with us about their new Feed Your Creativity program - 10 months of 10 different fibers of their yarns and 10 different projects to knit. It’s a great way for shops and customers to sample the Kollage line as a part of a monthly club!
