My favorite trend that I'm seeing this fall is big, cozy, cabled pullovers. The kind that knit up double quick in chunky gauges with bold cable patterns, that transition from fall jacket to winter weekend staple. My personal favorite from our current collection is Wicklow from booklet #346 Inca Tweed (from left to right: Diggory, Analogia and a detail from Wicklow)… Continue reading Amy’s Thread: The Season of Cabled Pullovers

Emily Explains: Styling Knits for In-Between Weather
We're in the middle of our Spring/Summer 2015 photo shoot right now (I can't believe it!) and all I can think about is styling. Styling for the photoshoot (spring/summer style), styling for fall (what am I wearing?!?) and how to wear my beloved handknits with the rest of my wardrobe. This last one I find… Continue reading Emily Explains: Styling Knits for In-Between Weather
Amy’s Thread: What’s On the Needles
New England has taken a turn into fall weather - in the last week we went from beach weather to beautifully moody gray skies and brisk morning temperatures - sweater knitting season is here! In my last post, I mentioned that I'm playing along with the Fringe and Friends Amanda Knit-Along. This is really a cardigan knit-along so… Continue reading Amy’s Thread: What’s On the Needles
Norah’s Knits: More Ideas for Marmot
While we concentrated on smaller items in the Marmot booklet, this yarn is so soft and wonderful, I've been finding myself dreaming of knitting a cozy sweater to live in this winter. Cirrus and Voyage both have gauges similar to Marmot. Searching through the Berroco pattern library I found these 4 modern basic sweaters that… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: More Ideas for Marmot

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
Get to Know Berroco: Pitti Filati
Did you know that nearly half of our current yarns come from Italy? That's one of the reasons why our semi-annual trips to Pitti Filati are so important! Pitti Filati is basically the main event in the yarn industry. It's three days of yarn, yarn and more yarn, mixed with elaborate displays and even some food!… Continue reading Get to Know Berroco: Pitti Filati
Knitter’s Spotlight: Avi by Eileen Vito
Eileen Vito’s first knitting project went to the dogs. I mean that literally, of course. She knit sweaters for her two dogs. Unfortunately, both dogs gained weight and the sweaters got too tight. Eileen says she’s pretty sure this is just a coincidence and not a reflection of their feelings about her knitting! Either way,… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Avi by Eileen Vito
Knitter’s Spotlight: Colorful Mittens
I’ve been a glove girl for years, but I’m ready for a change. Mittens are on my “Must Knit” list this winter because they’re warmer, easier to slip on and tend to be more colorful – so I can easily spot the one that inevitably falls out of my pocket in a dark parking lot!… Continue reading Knitter’s Spotlight: Colorful Mittens
