Cirilia recorded some helpful videos for this week's Knitbits. All three relate to the free pattern, Rosebud (a lovely cardigan designed by Tonia Barry) but might be quite helpful if you need help picking up sts, have fear of bobbles or if you forget to put in buttonholes some day.

What to do but knit?
wedgette instruction home
The bits and pieces of Wedgette, the sweater I'm designing for my Raverly fan group, seem to be all over the place and even I am finding them difficult to compile. So, here is a digest of all of the instructions so far. I'll be writing the sleeves and finishing soon. I'll add them to… Continue reading wedgette instruction home
Kingscot
Hey! Have you seen the new issue of Twist Collective? I'm so happy to have my cardigan, Kingscot, included in this gorgeous, innovative, on-line magazine. Don't be afraid of all those bobbles. I did them all without turning. I guess I'd call them "i-cord" bobbles. Be sure to check out Eloise Narrigan's charming illustrations in the… Continue reading Kingscot
Ravelers’ NGV3 sweaters
I was bopping about Ravelry last night, wondering how many knitters were using Berroco yarn to knit patterns from my fall booklet. We hesitate to harp on it, but, after all, selling yarn is what my job is all about. I am very happy to report that I found some truly outstanding work. Y'all make me proud… Continue reading Ravelers’ NGV3 sweaters

a tease from NGV4
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… Continue reading a tease from NGV4
Preparation Time
A while back, a curious reader left this comment: I am loving this peek into your design process! And at the same time as I look at your sheets feeling ever do disorganized! As I also watched your latest video slideshow for booklet 279 (keep doing these slide shows they are great) one question kept… Continue reading Preparation Time
wedgette
A few weeks ago the "fans of norah gaughan" group on Ravelry reached 2000 members, which I declared cause for celebration. I asked the members for celebratory suggestions. Someone suggested a KAL and someone else requested a new pattern just for the group. So, I decided to make a new pattern for the occasion and the knit… Continue reading wedgette
