Everyone would know the difference between knitting and crochet. But in this world, we take what we can get, especially when it’s in the form of a photo homage to the wonders of Vogue Knitting Live, a knitting showcase and learning event that took place over the weekend in New York City.

If you didn’t know what you were missing, now you do: beautiful yarn, fantastical sculptures (some crocheted, of course), swants worn without irony (wait, I’m not sure that’s possible). Lots of learning, laughing, friendship and fiber love.

I really wanted to go to Chicago last year but it wasn’t in my budget. Maybe this year if there’s another event in the Windy City.

have you ever been to a Vogue Knitting Live? I’d love to hear about it!
