Peruvia…
I made my Tilted Duster out of this yarn and it was such a pleasure to work with, light and quick knitting. It's also a joy to wear, a very wooly wool that is amazingly soft, especially after a nice soak. Sadly, there have been many Peruvia projects that have been languishing in my mental… Continue reading Peruvia…
One more!
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!
Vested Interest
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
Berroco Behind the Scenes
Working in the world of knitwear design means that your calendar is more than a little screwy. Deadlines and lead times require you to be mentally "out of season" pretty much all the time. I've modeled heavy alpaca sweaters in July, knit angora in August and sketched summery tanks in September. Perhaps the craziest part… Continue reading Berroco Behind the Scenes

I am posting with my I-pod touch. That's so cool, but kinda scary too. Is there no escape? Check out a preview of NGV4:
Sparkling spangles!
For this week's KnitBits holiday greeting, I whipped up some festive holiday orbs! These yarn balls are so evocative, they simultaneously remind me of evergreens, presents, snowballs, ornaments...all things sparkly and bright! They were very easy to make, if you made Morty or don't own a ballwinder, you can totally handle these holiday spheres. … Continue reading Sparkling spangles!
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
Harlotted!
Along with Lorna and Laura at CosmicPluto, we've been Harlotted! It couldn't have happened to a nicer yarn, check out Just Enough Ruffles knit up in Cuzco, one of my favorites: I love how quickly Cuzco knits up, and I love the patterns that are available right now (I had nothing to do with… Continue reading Harlotted!
Staycation, all I ever wanted…
This week's KnitBits, due out on Friday, is the second in a series of themed entries called the Recession Collection. Last week's issue was a collection of 50 projects you can knit for under 50 dollars--a LOT less than 50 dollars in most cases. Not a subscriber? KnitBits is a weekly newsletter that brings… Continue reading Staycation, all I ever wanted…
