One last update before I catch my very early plane back to NYC. CHA not only attracts tons of scrapbooking and crafting stars, but more mainstream celebs who love crafts are also drawn to the event to promote their products. One such famous face was Ms. Vanna White of "Wheel of Fortune" fame, who has a line of yarn called "Vanna's Choice," produced by the Lion Brand Yarn Company.

Ms. White and Vogue Knitting editor-in-chief, Adina Klien, presided over a mini fashion show displaying knitted items created with Lion Brand Yarn.

There was a major emphasis on chunky over-sized berets, crazy big scarves, and funky items like bracelets and legwarmers. The color palates centered around warm, autumnal colors. Think pumpkin orange, plum, mustard, and chartreuse. Beautiful beautiful rich colors and fashion forward designs! Seeing all those lovely wears made me seriously think of taking up knitting.

I dare you to take a look at the breath-taking designs below and then tell me that you're not dying to try to re-create at least one of these!

Vanna's daughter Giovanna modeled some designs alongside a furry friend!

This stunning black dress got a little help from some wire to maintain that shape:

I absolutely ADORE this scarf! It's so over the top, but look incredibly warm. But since I'm so short I'd probably look like a giant ball of yarn of I wore it. ;)
