I feel a bit like I’m emerging from captivity, although not an unpleasant captivity, just an intense one. I spend the last month designing the pieces for the 4th Berroco volume with my name on it. Let’s refer to the upcoming book as NGV4 , eliminating the need to type my own name over and over like a crazed ego manic (or a little kid just learning to write). I swatched, I sketched, and then the hard part began. In order to actually make my ideas work I drew up very detailed schematics and wrote the first instruction. Wow, that took so much time! Why can’t I just do normal sweaters?! 🙂
Ok, I don’t really mean that, since I thrive on doing things I haven’t done before. So now, there are 14 sample garments (some, risky experiments and some, not so much) out there in the hands of a dozen of the best knitters I’ve worked with.
…the tease:
My pile of swatches.
OK, I’m intrigued by the tease; can’t wait to see the FOs.
We love your un-normal sweaters….can’t wait to see the next volume!
Oooh, me likey that white swatch with the single ribs dripping down into water droplets. Very intrigued!
Thanks for blogging about this – and for all the creativity you bring to your work. It is inspiring.
Wow – I just can’t believe there will another pattern book from you! I love the stitch patterns. Keep it comin’!
If I ask really nicely will you show more? You know da*n well I am not a patient woman Norah! 🙂
ooooh.. looks like a pile of fun!
Oh, it’s like waiting for Christmas! Your un-normal sweaters are the best things out there Norah!
I have a feeling I’m going to love what you do with that gorgeous Blue and the gorgeous Purple.
Hi, I absolutely love your designs in NG3 and I’m sure I shall love NGV4. My problem, I’m in the UK so how can I get the books. Please help
