I can't believe I haven't posted in a month, what a crappy blogger!  It has been a crazy month though.

So now I'm back from the TNNA show in California, and I've ordered us lots of new goodies (keep your eyes peeled in March & April!) and got to meet fun knitting folks like Pam Allen (editor of Interweave Knits and author of Wrap Style)) and Fiona Ellis.  At the same time and in the same conference center as TNNA, there was also a skateboarder/surfer/snowboarder conference.  Chris and I kept having to wave our ID badges around to prove we really did belong with the knitters, not the skateboarders.  I don't know why they thought we belonged with all those pierced, punk-haired, tattooed kids...

I didn't even get to see Tony Hawk.  I thought the fact that I was wearing my Flower Basket Lace Shawl would clue them in to my destination, but this plan of prominent knitting display backfired on me when I lost my shawl.  Yes, you heard me, I lost a lace shawl.  Deep breaths.  After checking the lost and found a dozen or so times, I've reached a Zen-like state of calm and acceptance over my loss.  I will cast on for a replacement and move on.  Om, dammit.
