All weather is good for knitting!

I read this statement today and it's true for me. We're having record heat, which makes me wish I had a pool membership. This morning it was blessedly cooler and I could do some weed management in the garden.

Jill and I were in Columbus at the TNNA trade show over the weekend. I think it was hot there too, but we are in the convention center from 8-8, so we weren't out in any awful weather. We had such fun networking and connecting with people. We went out one dinner with some of the Association of Knitwear Designers members, including Chrissy Gardiner, Gwen Bortner, Myrna Stahman, and Chris DeLongpre . Another dinner we went out with friends Kennita Tully (designer), Barbara Paley (Stitch n Pitch fame) and Margaret Fisher (designer) and are pictured here at Barcelona, a fabulous restaurant we found. Our waiter, Dave, is a knitter! He picked our brains on some knitting problems he was having and brought us a complimentary decadent chocolate dessert.

Another dinner we had a great meal with our friends Mary and Michael from Ashland Sky, Lenore Plotkin from Stitcher's Dream, Kim Smith from Knitting Matters, and Jodi Lewanda, another designer. Yummy food and great company.
