Trammel & I just got back from a short 4 day trip to Germany for the annual Handarbeit & Hobby tradeshow.  It's always a blast and this year was no exception! We showed off many of our yarns that are new to Germany this year like Cast Away, Swirl & Wildflower. We caught up with stores we've been selling to for years and met lots of new people from all over the globe, like Korea, Japan, Slovakia and more. It always amazes me when people have heard of our yarns and seek us out. We are so lucky to work with an awesome distributor in Germany that makes getting our yarn so much easier to European shops. Here are the recap pics from the show!

This insane knitted tee pee was at the show again this year. Yeah, we need one!

Favorite  store owner Wilbert of Schouten Handwerken in Holland, he's the best!

The hubby & I. Was so thankful to have him with me!

I just returned Tuesday from San Diego, where our big winter yarn tradeshow was held. It was a blast as usual, although especially exhausting this year, being preggars!  The 70 degree weather was definitely a highlight as well as catching up with all of my favorite yarn store owners and designers. It always flies by!  Here are some pics from our week in California.

A California sunrise spotted on my morning run. Insane!

This pom pom/driftwood prop I made was a big hit. The best part was that it took me almost no time to whip up!

Catching up with my yarn bestie Tricia Drake of Tricky Knits. Love her so much!

We had about 10 new patterns and knits to show off at the show! This being one of them, how gorgeous. Knit up in our Maharani Silk in color Key Lime Pie. Stay tuned for lots of new patterns coming soon!
