TNNA is pretty much like Christmas for designers: it’s a time where you get to hang out with all of your designer buddies (aka family) and play with cool new toys (like new yarn, books and hooks), and eat oodles of yummy food. Geez… sounds even better than Christmas!
I could go on for hours about the awesome-ness that transpired… but I’ll stick with showing you a few select photos that capture some of the fun!
Dressing up
Everyone puts on their best knitted/crocheted finery… so I donned a couple outfits:
Hanging out with awesome people
As a designer, I work from home and I only get the chance to interact with my designer friends in person once a year (the rest of the time, it’s all online!). So it’s fabulous to get the chance to sit down and have real conversations… and of course, sneak a picture with a few idols!
Yummy Food!
Columbus, OH is famous for Jeni’s Ice Cream (I had Salted Caramel and Goat Cheese & Cherries… wheatgrass is on my list for next year!), but that’s not all! I ate oodles of yummy food:
Checking out what’s new!
One of the great things about TNNA is that you can check out the latest and greatest items… in person!
Having fun!
I had such a great time… and I stocked up on new ideas, giveaways and exciting stuff for the blog! Yay! So stay tuned…
Every second of this conference sounded like an absolute blast! I’m so excited for you! Thank you so much for sharing some of the awesomeness that was TNNA this year!
Jeni’s is the best! Salty Caramel is my absolute favorite. Glad you got to have some! If you ever come back to Columbus check out Mac’s cafe. It’s a Scottish pub right across High street from Jeni’s and the food is awesome!
Looks like you had a great time!
