Fashion Forecast

Get out your chunky yarns! According to the Back to School Fashion Forecast in the Style Section of our local newspaper, The Charlotte Observer, "Kitwear takes center stage this season....from knit dresses to thick cabled coats expect knits to be everywhere. The article says "the trend is toward 'outrageously thick and chunky knits, primarily handmade". These quotes are credited to Gloria Baume, fashion director of Teen Vogue.

The knitted fashion example shown in the article was a cropped cabled cardigan by BB Dakota (available at Nordstrom) with elbow length sleeves and one large knitted button.

Messenger bags are also going to be big, according to the article. Sounds like a knitting bag to me!

Really. Who needs a laptop when you could be carting around socks in progress.
