How to Get Ideas for Berroco Yarns
It's all happened—we see a beautiful yarn that we just have to have and so we buy it without really having a plan for it. OR we just fall in love with how a yarn looks but can't really envision it in the pattern that displays it. We get it! In this week's KnitBits newsletter,… Continue reading How to Get Ideas for Berroco Yarns

Ultra Alpaca Fine is the rare, machine washable alpaca yarn. This fine gauge blend is 50% wool for bounce, 20% alpaca for warmth, and 30% nylon for strength and durability. What I love about this yarn is the versatility - warm socks, beautiful lace and with a rage of beautiful rich heather colors perfect for colorwork. This… Continue reading Amy’s Thread: Ultra Alpaca Fine

The letter might mention an age of 55 or 60. This question always makes me think of Mom. She's 80 something and looks… Continue reading Norah’s Knits: Knitting for Great Grandma

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

Since tomorrow's the big day, I thought I'd share a couple of quick knits and a really cute crochet decoration.… Continue reading Holiday Patterns: Valentine’s Day
