Knitter’s Spotlight: Vintage Tops
I love browsing the recently finished projects in our Berroco Lovers forum. It’s fun to see which patterns others are making, but it’s also really interesting for me to see which yarns people favor for certain kinds of projects. Read more
Knitter’s Spotlight: Centre-Ville Dress and Cardigan by Nancy Eiseman
Nancy Eiseman must have creativity to spare. By day, she designs jacquard-woven fabrics that are used for upholstery. By night (or really, whenever she’s off the clock) she designs with her needles and yarn.
Knitter’s Spotlight: Avi by Eileen Vito
Eileen Vito’s first knitting project went to the dogs. I mean that literally, of course. She knit sweaters for her two dogs. Unfortunately, both dogs gained weight and the sweaters got too tight. Eileen says she’s pretty sure this is just a coincidence and not a reflection of their feelings about her knitting! Either way, she was hooked on her new hobby. As she puts it, “Once I started, there was no looking back.” Read more

Yarn Alive
What would you do if you lost your house and all of your possessions? What if your business was swept away? Could you go on, knowing friends and maybe even family members were missing? It’s so hard to imagine even one of these devastating losses, but for thousands of people in Japan all three have been a reality.
Knitter’s Spotlight: Cardamom by Whatthehay
We had a few sweaters this season that seemed to catch everyone’s eye. Cardamom was definitely one of them. Knit in the super bulky Berroco Peruvia Quick, it goes without saying that this cardigan doesn’t take long to make. It’s also cozy and has great texture, combining stockinette stitches, ribbing and a clever cabled button band.
Raveler Whatthehay knew she wanted to get it on her needles even before most people had seen a picture of the design. Lucky for Read more
