Betty and I returned from our big road trip (10 hours)(each way) on Monday evening, tired but really enthused about all the things we saw at TNNA. T-N-N-A stands for The National Needlearts Association... Each year the organization holds two major trade shows, this was the summer show, which features yarns and trends for fall and winter...
So what are the new trends??? Color, texture... Lots of cables, textured yarns, and sparkle....yes, the novelties are making a comeback! Garments made with simple shapes. Socks are ever popular, and shawls and wraps are still strong.
On a personal note, Betty and I took full advantage of the "perks of visiting the big city"...we ate in some fancy restaurants, hob-nobbed with big shots and fully enjoyed the big, cushy beds at the Hyatt. We ordered lots of new yarn, some very cool bags and accessories. All to be delivered in the coming months..
Traveling is nice, but coming home is even better... We are now back at home with lots of new ideas for the next knitting season!
