When I look at all those designer pieces I think to myself "I could make that!" or "Could I make that?" I love Vk for that reason.... I buy it for those designs to see how it's done and do it myself.

As soon as runway shows are over Asia part of the globe gets busy with their knock-off production to be sold in many department stores of the USA, at cheaper prices of course, that angers the designers a lot, but the way our economy is going it seems that buyer is going to be a bigger quantity, people would buy same amount but cheaper brands of clothing.

I don't know if most knitters have the desire to figure out how to knit the fashionable stuff and make a pattern of it. Sometimes I think lots of the stuff I see being knit is frumpy.
