Lion Brand fashion show and the #scarfie

I had the pleasure of meeting Vanna at the Lion Brand fashion show Sunday!!
Here is the link to last year's show

I was lucky enough to be sitting in the 2nd row and right by Vanna, in the photo above is the president of Lion Brand David Blumenthal.

I know my photos are not ideal but they were the best I could get!

Here is a closer look at Vanna's shawl they are tiny granny squares using Vanna's glamor and bon bons. Anyone could make this and look amazing! The fashion show focused on squares and blocks and how easy shapes can make amazing farmers even for the beginner! While I was watching the show I thought of Megan Trainer's song but instead of its all about that bass.... "it's all about that block, that block.. No shaping. .."

This was one of my favorites!

LB pattern L40271

Ombre! Who doesn't crazy for it? This was another one of those block like designs which is fun and makes it easy for ANY beginner to make something they can wear!

I know that one is knit but wow is that a fun spin on the Pancho! I love the 2 tones and textures together!

This reminds me of the quilts my grandma used to make! I absolutely love log cabins!

The color blocking on this one is fun! I would totally wear this and I am not a Pancho person! I like how it has the sleeves so it stays in place and you can use your hands!

Here are some photos from the Booth :)

The #scarfie hashtag is huge! Take a photo with a scarf made with Lion Brand Yarn and post it online with the hashtag.

Yes that is a giant knitted iphone! All the people with the #scarfie hashtag are on it!

Look who I found to the a #scarfie with! My dear friend Yolanda of the All Crafts Channel
