Knitter’s Spotlight: Spring Breeze by Susan Barstein
Susan Barstein has always liked cotton tape yarns, and Berroco Karma is no exception. “I fell in love,” Susan says. She immediately knew she wanted to use it to knit a fun, open garment to display at the LYS where she works, In The Making.

She even continued knitting as her family traveled abroad for her husband’s research. Read more

Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Vizcaya
I finished my second garment last week and I really think I’m starting to get the hang of this knitting thing! That’s not to say it was without mistakes, though.
