Summer has just begun... But in the design office, we’re solidly in the habit of working far into the future: Norah and Warren will be traveling to Italy soon to start planning yarns for Fall/Winter 2012. Norah and I are actively designing for Spring/Summer 2012. Berroco just introduced the exciting new yarns and pattern booklets for Fall/Winter 2011.

Summer is Coming
Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching. Many folks are traveling far and wide to attend graduation ceremonies. I keep getting cravings for frozen lemonade. These signs can mean only one thing: the long-awaited summer is practically here. When the weather’s hot, trying to work on big fuzzy sweaters and blankets can leave me roasting. Woolly yarns stick… Continue reading Summer is Coming
Going Around
I’m so happy to be back at Berroco! My first day at work felt a little like a reunion, with so many familiar faces welcoming me back to the office. I instantly felt right at home, and promptly began stashing chocolate-covered pretzels and vanilla wafers in my desk drawers to complete the transition. A few of my first… Continue reading Going Around
New England Knits!
Read on to hear some behind the scenes scoop from the authors of New England Knits, Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre. CR: Hey ladies! Why don't we start by explaining how you know each other? We first met many years ago through mutual friends, but because we lived in different places, we lost touch. When… Continue reading New England Knits!
Whirlwind June…
June has been exactly like a summer storm. A bit scary, very unpredictable, fast-moving, and at times refreshing and beautiful. It has been an exhausting but inspiring month... Norah and I spent the first half of the month consumed by TNNA! If you weren't following our updates on Twitter you can see a wonderful recap… Continue reading Whirlwind June…
Rhinebeck Road Trip!!
So, as many of you in the Northeast know, Rhinebeck was this past weekend! We're still recovering from the rush of spring photography and I almost bailed for some much needed rest, but when I woke to a gorgeous fall Saturday, I grabbed my keys and my knitwear and I hit the road! I didn't… Continue reading Rhinebeck Road Trip!!
Jasper Love
I whipped up a hat in record time this week! I used a ball and a half of Jasper, a gorgeous self-striping merino wool that knits up so quickly I can hardly believe it (about 4 hours, which for me is superduper fast). I used Jared Flood's wildly popular Turn a Square pattern but instead of striping… Continue reading Jasper Love
TNNA Columbus Videos + More
What can I say that hasn't already been said all over the Interweb? I was Tweeting our trip, you can catch up at our Twitter page. It was a whirlwind! It was my second time attending the The National Needle Arts trade show and I felt a lot more comfortable with my new perch. The… Continue reading TNNA Columbus Videos + More
Peruvia…
I made my Tilted Duster out of this yarn and it was such a pleasure to work with, light and quick knitting. It's also a joy to wear, a very wooly wool that is amazingly soft, especially after a nice soak. Sadly, there have been many Peruvia projects that have been languishing in my mental… Continue reading Peruvia…
hexagaughan happiness
I am feeling very loved. Last evening I received an incredible gift. My fan group on Ravelry, lead by the intrepid cadburyskeeper got together (in an on-line sense) and made an afghan for me. The 6" hexagons, they dubbed them "hexagaughans" since I am so into them, were knit and crocheted by folks in nine countries: Austria, Australia,… Continue reading hexagaughan happiness
