National Needle Arts Association (TNNA)

I spent some time in Long Beach a few weekends ago at the National Needle Arts Association (TNNA) Trade Show & got to check out some of the new yarns and color combinations for spring.  My favorite was Jade Sapphires cashmere linen blend they named Sylph; a skein made it into my suitcase…oh joy!

On Sunday I ran into Alana Dakos from Never Not Knitting with her daughter signing their book Annie and the Swiss Cheese Scarf; it’s about a little girl who wants to knit and her mother who teaches her.  It’s a cute story with beginning knitting instruction in the back. And if you haven’t heard yet Alana has another book Botanical Knits coming out in May with pre-orders being accepted; I have mine pre-ordered with Twigs & Willow in my Ravelry favorites already. 

For those of you that will be enjoying Stitches West in Santa Clara on the 21st through the 24th Chic ~ a will be there.  She doubled the booth size to accommodate more products so look for her at #932,934 and grab one of those wonderful yarn keepers I was telling you about, you won’t be sorry.

Our shipment of Chic~a came in and we have a great selection of Project Bags, Portfolios and Yarn Keepers

 We  received our Chic~a order and it sure was a colorful box to open!   It was filled with Zipper Pouches, in all three sizes with a solid or clear front, 

Project Bags, & Single and Double Yarn Keepers. 

Chic~a Project Bags are reversible so you'll get two fun looks for one great price, and if you're tiered of plastic zip lock bags to store your yarn in while working on a project the Yarn Keepers solves that problem.   Zipper Pouches are not only being enjoyed by knitters, crocheters, quilter and embroiders for their projects, they have crossed over to the student and business professionals because of there perfect size for keeping papers organized for reports.

Come by and see for yourself how practical and fun Chic~a can be!!
