Jeni Hewlett from Fyberspates spent time with the Lantern Moonies in the booth. Here she is on the left, and also the visiting Ravelry peeps and Ysolda. [...]

We showed some of these paper bead necklaces during Sample It at TNNA for Akonye Kena. I don’t know that we’ll be [...]
While we were at TNNA, it came to our attention that there were a few Lantern Moonies that didn’t knit…yet. What better chance to learn than at TNNA? Jessica, Brenda, and Steve were our non-knitters. Guess which one wasn’t interested? Jessica and Brenda took up their needles and did a great job. We started with [...]
Sunday is a lot like Saturday! Lots of looking and shopping, and it’s amazing how many things I missed the first time through. I did go to a mini-session workshop on social media, given by Benjamin Levisay and Kimberly Reynolds of XRX, Inc. (Knitter’s Magazine). They say that all companies should have a blog, and [...]

That’s one big pair of scissors in the hands of the gentleman in the center; you can see one ring of the handle in his hand. Note our personal luminary Joel, over on the right…away from the scissors.
