More needlework on the fashion horizon

On Fluffa's blog I found this link to Style.com's feature on knitting and crochet in fashion. Judging from the collections, needlework will still play a big part in this year's clothes. I know that as a knitter I'm not supposed to care about trends, but I have to admit that I don't want my kids to look totally out of step. M just turned 12 and I know that she is approaching the age where she will start caring about what she is wearing in comparison to her friends. I don't want my handknits to be the cause of any teasing.
