I’ve been in Long Beach, CA since Thursday, attending the LYSO’s trade show, known as TNNA. I left Huntsville Thursday morning, just as the snow was beginning to sprinkle the tarmac, and arrived in Long Beach just after lunchtime, greeted by 74 degrees and sunshine. Not a hardship at all! The convention center is very near the ocean, and right next to the aquarium. The view from my room:
(pardon the lens of my camera reflected in the window)
Nice, huh? You’ll be much more interested in this next shot, I’m sure:
There are goodies from companies we’ve dealt with for years, and some from companies that are brand new to us. As you can see, there also are some new books on the horizon, and some new bags from Namaste. I’m going to work on a newsletter over the next week (I’ll still be away; I have to check in on my parents in Arizona on my way home), and I’ll give details of some of these goodies, and will have more pictures to share. I have one parting shot to share with you…
Mountain Colors has come out with a new sock yarn — superwash merino/nylon blend, nice tight twist, same gorgeous colors. They sent me a sample skein before Christmas, and this sock has been my travel knitting. I’m working on sock #2 now, and am loving it. We’ve received some of the colors I ordered already, and more will be arriving in a week or two. When I talked to Val this morning she said it was moving fast, so get thee to the store if you want to see it in person and fondle some before it’s all gone!

I suppose it would have been nice of me to tell you the name of the yarn. It would make it easier for you to look for it at the store, right? Ask for Crazyfoot.
