The Japonica from pattern Booklet #363 Berroco Artisan was my favorite project from the Fall/Winter 2015 collection. I love it so much, this is actually the 2nd time I've managed to sneak it into a blog post this year... This is that sort-of-a-shawl, sort-of-a-cardigan type of garment that I like to wrap up in on… Continue reading Japonica fits all

Amy’s Thread: All Seasons Knitting
The Berroco Spring launched in January featuring 3 new yarns for 2016 and a collection of new patterns to go with them. Here in the northeast United States, temperatures have settled in to seasonal norms (high today of 28F) and I'm more anxious to start new projects that will keep me cozy while I knit… Continue reading Amy’s Thread: All Seasons Knitting
Style Your Knits: Eula
Eula was a given when we started picking designs for this season's Style Your Knits videos. Not only does it look great on a variety of body types, it also can be worn forwards or backwards. It almost like you're getting two tops out of one knit! This versatile tee is knit flat in two pieces, which are… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Eula
Style Your Knits: Gladys
It definitely took me the longest to pick the right outfit for this Style Your Knits video, but that's because I had so many dresses I wanted to try it on with! Gladys is a lightweight, cropped wrap sweater knit in Berroco Mixer. Because of the different fibers and how the yarn is constructed, Mixer… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Gladys
Style Your Knits: Prickly Poppy
No matter how warm it gets, I never go anywhere in the summer without a lightweight cardigan. Prickly Poppy is a perfect summer cardi! Knit in Berroco Indigo - our new recycled cotton blend - this sweater is worked in reverse stockinette with eyelet patterns down the front and on the sleeve cuffs. You can throw… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Prickly Poppy
Style Your Knits: Emmeline
Emmeline might just be the dress version of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Take four women of various ages, heights and sizes, add this knitted dress, and, if I do say so myself, the results are pretty fabulous! In addition to its magical fit, Emmeline makes a great trans-seasonal garment. It's knit in our new… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Emmeline
Style Your Knits: Paget
What's better than a cozy knit? A cozy knit that can be worn multiple ways! Paget from booklet #350 Clouds is one such versatile knit. The design team planned it as a kind of retro pullover with a button-down back and textured sleeves. But it looks just as great as a cardigan, too! Watch our new Style… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Paget
Style Your Knits: Flaherty
I've already mentioned in a previous blog post how much I love Flaherty from Norah Gaughan vol. 15. So when we started choosing designs for these videos, it got my vote. It's just a classic cable cardi that looks good on anyone in pretty much any outfit. Don't believe me? See for yourself! Watch more… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Flaherty
Style Your Knits: Clearwater
With its oversized ease and long, fringe hem, there's no denying that Clearwater (from booklet #352 Nomad) is fabulous. But even we were surprised by its runaway success this season. It's easily one of our most popular patterns for Fall/Winter '14. Want to see why? Watch our new Style Your Knits video!
Style Your Knits: Halyard
We like to joke that there's a dividing line of color preferences in the design office. Amy and Emily are metaphorically (and physically, with our desk arrangement) on one side with their love of neutrals and classic earth tones, while Alison and I prefer jewel tones (Alison even has a pink streak in her hair)… Continue reading Style Your Knits: Halyard
