St-Denis Yarns’ Nordique is available in a range of colors. The sweater here is the cover sweater from the Spring/Summer issue of the St Denis magazine.
Classic Elite has several great sample displays throughout their booth. The front sweater here was featured in the TNNA fashion show! It is made in Portland Tweed, a Virgin Wool/Alpaca/Viscose blend, which is already in stores. The pattern will be available in shops in August as a part of the Portland Tweed Collection.
The Deep South Fibers booth is packed with great patterns from indie designers. Kate Oates, the designer of Tot Toppers patterns, showed us her adorable book, Topped For a Year, with 12 knit hat patterns. Most of the hats are for babies and toddlers but some even go to adult sizes!
Chris de Longpré of Knitting at KNoon Designs has a new book out, Timeless Knits for Kids. It features classic patterns for children in sizes 4-14. She also has a new collection called Feathers, of little stuffed birds, including my favorite, a flamingo!
