Inspired by the Knitting in Film and Television Awards hosted by I Knit, our office had a lengthy chat today about our favorite knitted moments in the media. We're all mad for movies and television, mostly on DVD or Hulu...long marathons, the better to knit by, my dear!! We've also become fans of the blog… Continue reading Audiovisual

Gabfest!
In the past year or so Norah and I have been interviewed in many, many places...magazines (Norah in the February 2009 issue of Knit N' Style, and the Winter 2008 issue of Interweave, Cirilia in the Fall 2008 issue of Knitscene) online (Norah at Knitch and on Lolly's blog, and both of us on the… Continue reading Gabfest!

Cirilia and I are both avid npr listeners and both of us love the weekend current events/comedy/game show "wait, wait... don't tell me!". W...e...l....l , the week before last, one of the regular panelists, Mo Rocca, happened to mention (during a story about knitting sweaters for bald chickens) that he hated homemade sweaters because they are… Continue reading we still love you mo

Hi again, just a quick addendum to the Vest-uary post. I completely spaced out on a very cute vest pattern! It's the Ribby-Yo Vest by Cathy Carron. Knit in Peruvia Quick, it's available now in the Spring 2009 issue of Knitscene, one of my favorite knitting publications... This vest was featured in a… Continue reading One more!

Pretty much the best vest pun I could come up with...sorry, my mind is totally flooded these days! We're deep into the design process and it doesn't leave much time for wordplay. My desk is the messiest it has ever been but I'm feeling better about my sketching skills (practice makes perfect...) and the yarns… Continue reading Vested Interest

More excess - this time in the form of knit-in tucks. Don't you love that Eleanor can knit too? We chose a different photo for the book - one that focuses more on the vest, but I am still enamored of this shot. Adina Klein helped us out with the styling for this story - that's the… Continue reading tuck

Norah Gaughan volume 4 is printed and shipping to stores! We'll be showing it on the Berroco website and launching all of the Spring 09 booklets in the Knitbits newsletter starting January 16th, but meanwhile, I thought (I was hoping) you might want to see a bit more. Doled out in moderation, of course. … Continue reading pucker

What to do but knit?
Gifting
Pretty much the moment I started at Berroco we've been talking about GIFTS. It started way back in September with tiny holiday sweaters and gift sets you could make on a budget. There was a bit of a debate over the propriety of verbing a noun (I maintain that it is okay in the case of… Continue reading Gifting
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
