New year, new projects. On January 16th, my sister and I were thrilled to attend a reception and talk by Louisa Harding at one of our local yarn shops, The Grove. Louisa was in San Diego to participate in the TNNA (The National NeedleArts Association) show.

Louisa Harding is a stellar knitwear designer. She regaled us with tales of her entry into her career and brought along a trunk show of delicious fashions.

My sister and I each bought a pattern book (which she graciously signed) and some of her scrumptious yarns to launch us into the new year of knitting.
