TNNA Summer 2008

So who was wondering about that * in my last post?

That's what happens when you have crochet dancing in your head.

What I meant to say, is that I will be teaching an abbreviated version of "Beyond the Afghan" at TNNA this summer in Columbus, OH. I am very excited about being given the opportunity to teach at TNNA. I have adored all the classes I taken thus far, and I am so excited to share some of my knowledge back with every one. The class is all about using granny squares to make interesting lace that you can use in basically anything. I (if you couldn't tell) use it all the time in my garments (little sneak preview- you will see a lot of this construction in both of my books this fall as well as some of my magazine work). Its a thing of mine, I guess. I just think it's so cool to watch one block connect with another to become something even cooler. Anyway if you are a member and are interested, I believe sign up begins March 24.

I hope to see you there!
