Volunteers helped teach new knitters and crocheters at the Yarnspirations Lounge. As always, Vogue Knitting Live was a blast! This year though, the Caron-turned-Bernat-turned Yarnspirations Lounge was a wee bit different, and not just because of the name change — in addition to a learning section, we also brought some amazing, fashion forward garments (scroll down for patterns), offered a glimpse at the new, Yarnspirations website, and had a huge swatch, photo backdrop op. Here’s a glimpse of the event inside Chicago’s beautiful, Palmer House hotel! Well-renown designer, Nicky Epstein stopped by our booth! A few of the people who stopped by to snap a pic in front of our ginormous, knit swatch. We’d love to see your pictures in front of our Photo Op!
