Vogue Live, Chicago -- No. 3

From the great Vogue Live, Chicago expo at Palmer House, Chicago this past weekend.  Here are some of the more outrageous moments.   

First, one of several small crocheted baskets made from old video tape -- priced at 500 dollars and up (the one shown here is only 5 inches in diameter and carries a price of $ 550 !!!!!).  I vividly remember Kathleen, who once worked for us, making things out of video tape maybe five years ago -- if only she'd known to put huge price tags on it.  I call this outrageous.


   ...and then there was this felted art-knit, which is at least unusual and diverting, entitled "Together":


....and some pretty cool art-knitting in mobile form (click on this one to enlarge it):


...not to mention these water-color drawings of knit stitches (I'd like to own one of these):


.......and then there was the collection of KNITTED PRESIDENTS -- one of which was the 44th President of the United States.  Recognize him???


So you see, it wasn't just about yarn and garments and inspirational classes!    svb
