I'm sorry I wasn't able to get to this sooner, but finally, I have time to write start on "pithy instructions" (as Elizabeth Zimmerman used to say) for the afghan I showed a while back, Margery's birthday blanket. Be forewarned, we didn't plan this blanket as something to be written out and published. In a… Continue reading Pithy instructions for M’s birthday blanket

walk with the fishes
Here's a 20 second, silly bit o' movie I took with my camera at the Pitti Filati exhibition in February. That's me giggling. Work can be fun.
the glue that holds our design office (and more) together
For the few of you who may not know, Margery Winter is the creative director at Berroco. After years of a mentor/student relationship, we now work as parts of a team here at Berroco. Margery writes about another very important member of our team: Deana Gavioli keeps the design department running like a top. Her… Continue reading the glue that holds our design office (and more) together
the working boy’s sweater
Berroco's Johnny Boy sweater in action: In a clever multitasking move, Margery knit the original Johnny Boy sweater to fit her grandson, Noah. Reports have it that the sweater has seen heavy action ever since, has been washed (and dried) numerous times, and it still looks great. It's knit in Berroco Sox, our all wool sock yarn… Continue reading the working boy’s sweater
glampyre’s sanpoku
I love checking my RSS feed to see what's up with my favorite knitting and craft blogs. (Sometimes it does get a little ahead of me - like when I have 1200 items to look at from my Ravelry friend's favorites list - oh well). This week I was so happy to see Stephanie Japel's finished… Continue reading glampyre’s sanpoku

Check out this article in the Brown Alumni Monthly or BAM as it affectionately refers to itself 🙂 It's a small article and the online version lacks… Continue reading a thrill
stash and burn excitement
I am thrilled that Stash and Burn chose to interview me for their 50th podcast episode. Jenny and Nicole's relaxed style made me feel right at home. I think I really sound like "me". Check it out. http://www.stashandburn.com/2008/03/episode-50-turn.html I like blog posts with pictures, so here's a photo of a tiny bit of my stash.… Continue reading stash and burn excitement
M’s birthday blanket
A few months back Margery was coming up on a "birthday worth noting" and a few of us who love her wanted to mark the occasion by knitting a little something. Thus the idea for this afghan was born. Granted, it was a rather insane thing to take on in December, right before Christmas, and with… Continue reading M’s birthday blanket
Thanks Becky!
We are very lucky to have Becky as an intern in our design office for the Spring semester. We work her hard. She runs from winding yarn into balls and keeping our sample drawers in order, to swatching our stitch ideas to answering consumer e-mail. On top of all that, I asked her to write… Continue reading Thanks Becky!
