Can you believe it’s almost time for a new season of Berroco patterns? That means eight new booklets with more than 70 beautiful patterns! We’ll be sharing our full collection for Fall/Winter ’13 in just a few weeks! But really, who can wait that long?
Between the top-down, seamless knits in Norah Gaughan Vol. 13 and the cool coordinates from our first ever his and her booklet – not to mention five fabulous new yarns – it’s really too exciting to keep to ourselves! Here’s a taste of what’s to come!
Classic Color Blocking
Accessories that Sparkle
Unusual Construction
His & Hers Coordinates
Fun with Fur
Updated Favorites
Cozy Cardigans
Top-Down, Seamless Knits
Are you most excited for new yarns? Patterns? Both? Let us know which of these designs you want to cast on first!
I’m doing my gauge piece for Clement right now and am really excited to start this project. However, I was wondering if Norah has a recommended cast on and bind off for top down sweaters?
Hi I really like using the cable cast on method myself, and i knit one on, purl one on for ribbing (when i am not in a hurry). For Clement though, it really doesn’t matter, because the collar is worked first and the sts are picked up around it.
I fell in love with a couple already!
That’s great, Marybeth! We’ll have plenty more to share next month!
The Updated Favorites vest…I live in Florida, so I’m always on the search for lightweight knits.
