Win a Ticket to Vogue Knitting Live!

Win a ticket to Vogue Knitting Live Chicago!

I’ve got one of my favorite annual treats for you guys today! Weekend after next, Vogue Knitting Live is coming to my town, Chicago. To celebrate, you can enter today to win a free ticket to the event’s marketplace. VKL travels around the country to a number of cities, and it features amazing classes from celebrated knitwear designers, a marketplace of knitting and yarn vendors, and more fun events. Plus, it takes place at one of my favorite downtown Chicago hotels, the Palmer House Hilton. The hotel has a huge lobby that fills with tons of knitters during VKL each year, chatting and hanging out with knitting friends. It’s really a pretty cool sight to behold!

Myself, I’m taking an intarsia colorwork class (you can never take too many knitting classes as far as I’m concerned), and I’ll be checking out vendors when I’m not knitting away in the lobby bar. Sound fun? Enter here for a chance to win a ticket.

    I missed this last year and made a note to try to get off work for it this year and I forgot again! At least I can go on Sunday. I’m thinking of the intarsia class also but I’ve been meaning to learn continental style and finally trying my hand at a sweater so those classes are on my radar also.
