What I’m about to say may shock you. Before I started here at Berroco, I didn’t know much about Norah. Sure, I had heard her name and even queued a few of her designs on Ravelry, but I was mostly a crocheter and I didn’t pay much attention to those kinds of things.

Adina Klein helped us out with the styling for this story - that's the… Continue reading tuck

Kingscot
Hey! Have you seen the new issue of Twist Collective? I'm so happy to have my cardigan, Kingscot, included in this gorgeous, innovative, on-line magazine. Don't be afraid of all those bobbles. I did them all without turning. I guess I'd call them "i-cord" bobbles. Be sure to check out Eloise Narrigan's charming illustrations in the… Continue reading Kingscot
