This unisex sweater is
done in the Carroll family

Scarf

Gnarled Oak
Cardigan

ends with some very challenging
knitting. A garland of oak leaves

Many customers have enjoyed

knitting and wearing the original
version of the Pinna Pompon
Scarf done in worsted weight
yarn. This scarf used four colors
worked in pin stripes. Its a
whimsical design with knitted
fringes and a bobble bind off. A
customer (thank you Peggy from
Ohio!) showed us how great this
design works up at a smaller scale
and with lighter weight yarn. Our
new version is done in Classic
Elite Fresco. In class well learn
navigational skills and master
the knitted cast on and modified
conventional bind off to make the
knitted fringes quick, efficient, and
enjoyable to knit.

Noro Corded Vest

Enter
Norah Gaughans Enter pullover is fun
to knit and fun to wear. This T-shaped
garment has just two pieces, the front
and the back. A simple yarn over,
knit two together lace worked on the
diagonal gives the garment shape and
drape. It can be worked in wool rich
yarns such as Berrocos tweedy new
yarn, Colora. Or choose a summery
yarn, such as Berrocos Fuji. This
design is much easier to knit that it
would appear. The basic lace pattern
is very easy to memorize. It is also
surprising forgiving of slight variations
in gauge.

Kate loves to help people be

successful with their first real
sweater project. She is always on
the lookout for suitable designs
and loves to help her students
with the finishing details that make
all the difference. This vest design
worked in Noro Silk Garden meets
her high standards. It caught her
eye because of the sophisticated
touches like the corded edgings
and button loops.

Mrs. Watson

Felted Yarn Bowl

Want an unbreakable, light weight yarn
bowl that conveniently squishes to fit in
your project bag? Susan has created
a pattern for a knitted and felted yarn
bowl that will do just that. Youll begin
on double pointed needles at the center
bottom of the bowl. Then youll work
on circular needles to create the bowl
shape. After the bowl is felted down in
the washing machine, youll cut the slot
to guide your knitting yarn for smooth
knitting.

2015 is the 10th aniversary of

Berrocos Ultra Alpaca family
of yarns. Portfolio Volume 1
celebrates that event with a
gallery of beautiful designs to
knit. The Mrs. Watson scarf
/ shawl gives you a chance
to work on two important
skills, short rows and yarn
tail management. Wave like
shapes are created by short
rows worked in the contrast
color. Heidi will help you with
navigational skills for keeping
track of those short rows.
Frequent color changes will
mean that you will have lots and
lots of yarn tails. Heidi will teach
you a great way to work in those
tail as you go so there will be
minimal finishing after youve
cast off your last stitch.
