At least the colors are compatible throughout the range, which could make for some interesting textural combinations. But, I don’t understand the fascination with chartreuse and fuchsia. Those are two colors I was happy as hell to leave in the 80′s.

Hmmm, I’ll wait til I can see the yarns in person, but I think Central Park might make a nice cozy sweater, ala Big Sack or Banff. I still want a Big Sack and this time (knowing the sizing stuff) I’ll make the right size.

The question is by wool blend with a touch of lycra do they mean wool, acrylic & lycra?

I head from those who saw the stuff at TNNA that LC’s yarn is pure junk, very craft-store like. But we may be huge yarn snobs. . . just maybe. ;o)

No, wait, she’s Hungarian:

What a strange website. (Lily Chin’s not listed.) I’ve read some bio somewhere that said she was raised in the US, but no information on her citizenship…

… and from something I found cached by Google:

Adrienne Vittadini was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1944. She studied at the Moore College of Art in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and won a scholarship to apprentice with Louis Feraud in Paris, in 1965. After completing this, she moved to New York and launched her own label in 1979.

I read that presentation too. In the spring 2004 book it says “The brand name Adrienne Vittadini is synonumous with designs that thave a “Euro-American” point of view. Established in 1979… I cannot find anything about a designer person in the text following. Google did not help me either. Monica

She is–the only bio I’ve ever read of her (and a very brief one, at that) is in the back of the AV knitting pattern books.

Is Adrienne Vittadini a person? I have tried to find info on “her” but no luck. Monica

Nope, she’s British, as far as I know.

Is Debbie Bliss not American? Where is she from?
