Laura Biondi’s Versatile Pandora Necklace started as a gift to herself. She had received one skein of Berroco Versa for her birthday and wanted to make something extra special with it. She designed a cute crochet necklace pattern featuring Pandora style beads on three i-chords (which could be knit, as well!). Since then, she’s been… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Versatile Pandora Necklace by Laura Biondi

Knitter’s Spotlight: Overstuffed Seat Cushions by Ellen Gormley
If you love to crochet, you’ve probably seen, and maybe made, one of Ellen Gormley’s patterns. She has more than 200 designs listed under her Ravelry profile, GoCrochet, and she’s always coming up with new designs for her beloved crochet motifs. “I’ve recently been enamored with oval motifs, which continue to pop-up sporadically in my… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Overstuffed Seat Cushions by Ellen Gormley
What to Knit: Cambria
The first thing I noticed about Cambria was her height. Of course, it didn't help that she was standing next to Norah! Cambria had warned us about her 6 ft frame before agreeing to be our What to Knit model, but we were up to the challenge and confident that a number of our new… Continue reading What to Knit: Cambria
Knitter’s Spotlight: Mitten Pocket Cardi by Loren Cherensky
Loren Cherensky’s first knitting lessons didn’t go so well. She was only five at the time and a lefty, so it was hard for her to learn from her right-handed mother. Loren later got a left-handed friend to teach her, only she ended up knitting righty, anyway! Despite her early confusion, Loren has had a… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Mitten Pocket Cardi by Loren Cherensky
Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Merle & the Never-Ending Increases
I've paused my knitting to write this post, set my needles adrift in the sea of stockinette stitches that is my Merle project. It's two weeks into our Knit with Norah KAL, and I'm losing momentum with every eight stitches I add to my increase rows. I never realized how depressing increases could be! It's… Continue reading Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Merle & the Never-Ending Increases
Knitter’s Spotlight: Playful Stripes Blanket by Meridith Shepherd
When Meridith Shepherd was working at her LYS, The Studio Knitting & Needlepoint, it seemed like every customer that came in had the same request: knitted baby blankets. She had no problem directing them to yarn. “I was recommending Berroco Weekend because of the ease of care and because the knitter was working towards spring… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Playful Stripes Blanket by Meridith Shepherd
Get to Know Berroco: Bev Rykosky
I met Bev Rykosky on my first day working at Berroco. Her friendly face greeted me (as it has every morning since) when I walked through the door. She sat and talked with me for about 15 minutes before everyone else arrived. She did the same thing for Emily last month and I'm guessing many… Continue reading Get to Know Berroco: Bev Rykosky
Knitter’s Spotlight: Knits & Zips Cabled Dresses by Laura Zwanziger
When Laura Zwanziger emailed us last year, she had sketches and a plan. An aspiring knitwear designer and college student, Laura was making two dresses for Cornell University’s annual fashion show and she knew she wanted to use Berroco yarns. “I found the Berroco Comfort Chunky and loved the way it felt. The Metallic FX… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Knits & Zips Cabled Dresses by Laura Zwanziger
Ashley’s Adventures in Knitting: Merle Modifications
Have you cast on for our Knit with Norah KAL yet? The project is Merle from Norah Gaughan vol. 13 and Norah is sharing special designer notes along the way! I'm really excited, not just to knit with Norah, but also because this project offers a few new knitting challenges for me.
