Berroco sent us some of their samples of Spring and Summer patterns you can knit up. There are nine fabulous samples of their patterns made up in their yarns. There's a lovely variety - tops, sweaters, shawls, even a bag. Each pattern is perfect to get on your needles right now and wear soon.
I talked about them all on our Virtual Knit Night. You can watch the replay here:
Below is more information on each of the different patterns seen in the Trunk Show. If you'd like to order any, contact the store and I'd be happy to help you work out the details.
