Vogue Knitting Live is a huge knitting and crochet conference that happens in several cities throughout the United States, and later this month, it’s coming to my town, Chicago! What goes down at VKL? There is a big, booth-style marketplace where you can get your hands on some amazing yarn and knitting supplies. You can take skill-building workshops and hear lectures on knitting trends, designing better patterns, and more. There’s also a knitwear fashion show, free hand massages, and a yarn tasting lounge (where you can try new yarns hands on).
The Chicago VKL is coming up the weekend of October 24, and I’ll be there taking it all in, including a bunch of the amazing workshops. My favorite part about VKL, other than all the stuff I listed above, is getting to hang out and knit with friends between and after classes, plus there’s always some happy hour activities to enjoy at the end of the day. Of course. ;)
If you’re a knitter, you might want to see if Vogue Knitting Live is coming to a city near you. And if you’re in the Chicago area, you can enter to win a pass to Vogue Knitting Live right here!

October 3, 2014 at 12:40 pmI agree with Denise, I’d love to take a class from Anna Hrachovec. I love her designs, and I can’t believe I had to miss her when she came to my library! The How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Kitchener Stitch one sounds good, too, since I am having SUCH a time finishing toes on socks lately.
