Norah’s Knits: Where to Find Oversized Sweaters
The last few seasons have brought a huge change to silhouette in the fashion and sweater worlds, and some of us are quite happy about it. Loose sweaters are back. Not only comfortable and cozy, they are great for all figures (REALLY, I mean it), and getting the right fit is much less fussy.

Woodstock: Behind the Scenes
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a photo shoot? At the shoot for our Fall 2012 pattern collection, we worked hard to get beautiful photographs... But still found time to be a little goofy.
