The first thing I noticed about Cambria was her height. Of course, it didn't help that she was standing next to Norah! Cambria had warned us about her 6 ft frame before agreeing to be our What to Knit model, but we were up to the challenge and confident that a number of our new… Continue reading What to Knit: Cambria

Behind the Scenes: Spring/Summer 2013 Photo Shoot Video
You've seen our new yarns and our beautiful new designs for Spring/Summer 2013. Now you can watch the behind the scenes video from our photo shoot on Cape Cod last fall.

Fall/Winter 2012 – Video Highlights
I wasn't at the photo shoot for our fall/winter 2012 pattern booklets, but after I watched this video, I felt like I was.

When it… Continue reading Fall/Winter 2012 – Video Highlights

Knitting Now and Later
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.
Color of the Year
Last winter, Pantone declared the Color of the Year for 2011 to be Honeysuckle, a reddish pink which, according to Pantone, “will ward off the blues.” It's June already, and I think their prediction is holding true six months later. This vibrant color still looks fresh, and it seems like a perfect shade to use whenever your… Continue reading Color of the Year
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…
