Knitter’s Spotlight: Fern Fingerless Gloves by Amanda Lilley
When you live in New England, you quickly realize that the start of spring, according to the calendar, has nothing to do with the start of spring weather. Designer Amanda Lilley has lived in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, so I can only imagine she had spring in mind when knitting her beautiful Fern Fingerless… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Fern Fingerless Gloves by Amanda Lilley
Winners: Intarsia Delight Contest
We have a new winner in our Intarsia Delight contest!

Knitter’s Spotlight: Handknit Socks
I’ve always thought of socks as great way to express my personality. With the exception of holiday socks (always in style), my preferences have changed a lot over the years. When I was little, my socks were white with lots of ruffles. In my early teens, I mostly wore ankle socks with cute prints. During… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Handknit Socks

Knitter’s Spotlight: Sweet Tart Poncho by Aimee Alexander
“Twirliness” may not be a word, but it was a key requirement when Aimee Alexander knit the Sweet Tart Poncho for her 5-year-old daughter. She was so pleased with her design that she also knit a smaller version for her 2-year-old. Still, Aimee was surprised to receive a number of requests for an adult version… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Sweet Tart Poncho by Aimee Alexander
What to Knit: Ashley
If you're like me, you may have noticed the oversized sweater trend and thought, "I could never pull that off." Unfortunately, I sometimes "think" out loud. Norah overheard and was determined to prove me wrong. Last week, I got to spend an afternoon being personally styled by Norah (I know - I really have the best… Continue reading What to Knit: Ashley
Knitter’s Spotlight: Vintage Tops
I love browsing the recently finished projects in our Berroco Lovers forum. It’s fun to see which patterns others are making, but it’s also really interesting for me to see which yarns people favor for certain kinds of projects. Our Vintage yarn shows up in a variety of finished projects, but lately I’ve seen it… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Vintage Tops
Knitter’s Spotlight: Centre-Ville Dress and Cardigan by Nancy Eiseman
Nancy Eiseman must have creativity to spare. By day, she designs jacquard-woven fabrics that are used for upholstery. By night (or really, whenever she’s off the clock) she designs with her needles and yarn. Eiseman has been knitting since she was nine, but she says she’s become more focused in the last few years. She’s… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Centre-Ville Dress and Cardigan by Nancy Eiseman
