Just found your blog from a link on the Ravelry forums. Love it!!

Lion Brand has always been so bizarre. Loved the matching fun fur hat & legwarmers.

I actually did like some of the afghans. But I am not so boldly “fashion forward” to wear them.

Couple of other things just had me scratching my head.

Thanks, I just come up from the floor laughing. The question about the poor models having to wear this? Easy….. on the “Germany’s next Top Model” show they let them walk down high buildings on the outside vertical like on a catwalk, or make shootings on the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge to test their dedication to the job… SO, those who “survived” all of that that had to show up at Lionbrand…

But what about the black –what?–cocktail dress? Hoop skirt? Clearly no one not being paid to wear it would have anything to do with it! Did they intend to PROMOTE their yarn and knitting with this? A tiny little bit more over-the-top and it would clearly be a send up suited for SNL. Heidi

I could imagine wearing something like these in a midwinter power failure, but even then I wouldn’t go outside in them. M. J.

Oooh, ouch, aaack…painful. The music was cool, though.

That green snake of a scarf is beyond ridiculous… I mean, how impractical is that thing? She couldn’t do anything with her hands but to hold the darn thing!

Holy Cow… this falls into the category of “What Were They Thinking?”

Just plain hideous. Lion Brand should be ashamed of themselves! And Vanna, because she now has a line of yarn with LB, is probably under contract to act as if she enjoyed that, even if she didn’t! But to drag her poor daughter into it as well is just horrendous!

I can’t say I’m all too shocked with LB’s designs… If you’ve noticed the last few years their designs have taken a downward spiral. Or perhaps a complete nosedive. It’s a toss-up.

I just have to say that the majority of the girls looked embarrassed. Why don’t they show things that we as consumers will actually use? I loved the ghans! They were great! The rest of it (including the ’space age’ dress and the python around that woman’s neck) was just not right. lol

That just got scarier and scarier

The way some of those women were opening those afghans looking like they were flashing people.
