Crochet Chiq

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 ma...

I was at the Craft and Hobby Association show in Anaheim Ca! I will have many posts about the show but let's start with the Yarnspirations booth! Looking out through the wardrobe  you get a glimpse of Yarnia! The details just blew me away! Yarnspirations spent about 10 months putting this booth together! I loved seeing the different  yarn lines they have shine in thier unique applications. For example they used thier  metallic yarn  to make the chain maille and word has it that it's done in movies that way too! I wish a had a few more photos of the tent to show you! Each panel was a different stitch and I can't even imagine how many hours it took to create! This has to be my favorite of all them if I had to pick...I love how it goes from a fine knit to a jumbo one! This is a lovely example of the different yarns all working together to make a jaw stopping creation. Of all the things to be excited about these ...

Last night I met up with some of my former loom students to show them the new looms and other great products I received at the CHA. One of my students went home and told her husband how much she loved the all n one loom and ordered that night!! AllNOne  Click the link to see the loom everyone is the most excited about. in the photo you can see it on the table, I love it because as the name suggests it's truly an all in one. You can double knit and adjust the width or you can knit flat.  in the next few weeks I will write and film a full review on it.  I also have the  Tadpole  which is great because it's portable and small ( it also has great instructions) and the  sock loom . I have used sock looms before where the grooves were not big enough and that made me hate making socks! This one like all the looms I can tell is made better so be on the look out as soon as I get sock yarn for a sock photos!!! I also have the  Afghan Loom  being ...

Hello everyone! Whew this past weekend at the CHA has been a whirlwind! I got hit hard with cold so thank you for waiting a few days for me to get this post up!! For those that don't know this last Friday to Tuesday was the Craft and Hobby Show in Anaheim, CA . As you can see above I ran into Mikey from The Crochet Crowd in the Red Heart booth. Red Heart has a new motto this year " Make it. Love it. Share it. " Mikey and Diva Dan were a delight to meet in person! I can not say enough what down to earth real and awesome people they were! I really enjoyed speaking with them at the booth, on the show room floor and at the Prime CHA Networking event.
