Lion Brand Yarn CHA Fashion Show

by Haley Pierson-Cox

in Crochet,Events,Fiber Art,Knitting

For the past few days, I've been doing demos and soaking up crafty awesomeness at the Craft & Hobby Association Winter 2012 Conference and Trade Show in Anaheim. Per usual, there have been tons of amazing events on the show floor. But, on Monday, Lion Brand Yarn rocked my fiber-loving socks off with their Lion Brand Winter 2012 CHA Fashion Show. There, the models walked an honest-to-god catwalk and sported a combination of Lion Brand Yarn patterns and creations from emerging designers, like this gorgeous dress from Elissa Eriksson.

Here are are a few more of my favorite designs from the show:

Sweater by emerging designer Gareth Brown.

Dress by emerging designer Lucy Faulke.

Gown by emerging designer Paula Cheng.

Dress by emerging designer Heather Orr.

There you have it, folks. I'm submitting this as definitive proof that yarn can be high fashion!

Woodlawn Exhibit Happening in Mid-May

by NutsAboutNeedlepoint

in Events,Nuts About Needlepoint

The Woodlwan Exhibit of Needlework is very popular for stitchers, who exhibit, and visitors, who love to look.

Because the plantation is undergoing extensive renovation, the exhibit has been postponed. It will start on May 12. YOu can get details about the dates in this blog post.

A check of Woodlawn’s site before I left didn’t reveal the exhibit forms, but they should be available soon. Check out their site to find them.

Given that the weather in DC in March can be unreliable at best (some of their worst blizzards happen in March), having the show in May and early June hits one of the loveliest times of year there.

The past several years I have been in the area at this time, but this year I was planning to go later in the summer.

But now I want to change those plans.

Here is the original post:

Getting Crafty on Google+

by Brookelynn

in Announcements,Events

Do you have +Craft in your circles? Ya know, it's kinda like @Craft, but instead of Twitter, it's Google Plus. Our page is currently a bit sparse, but don't worry, momentum is building! Hands down, my favorite feature about G+ is the ability to "Hangout". It's ridiculously easy to have live video chats, and they are especially fun and useful for sharing craft projects. Internally, all of the bloggers here on Craftzine have even ditched our boring old-school phone conference calls join a Hangout for our weekly meetings.

Many different types of communities are forming in circles on G+. Today, from 4:30 till 6:30 PST the newly launched +Handmade page will be hanging out, and Make and Craft will be joining in. The page was started by G+ Community Manager Natalie Villalobos, as a place where everyone from chefs to roboticists can share their projects and inspirations. We would love to meet you and see what you are working on! To make sure you can join, simply add +Handmade and +Craft to your circles. See you tonight!
