Obligatory TNNA summer 2013 recap post!
The weekend before last I spent 5 days in Columbus, Ohio for the industry trade show of the year for all things fibery and needley. We had a time.

Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!
I just got some bummer news earlier this week that my run of Threadbanger weekly roundups has come to an end. It’s been over 2 years (109 roundups) of posting every single Friday, so it feels really weird today that I’m not collecting awesome projects to share with TB readers. But, coincidentally, this gig endedContinue reading “Farewell Threadbanger, it’s been a good 2 years!”
