![]() ![]() I am SO excited to have Norah come to Sage this fall for a reception and to teach workshops. And to this day, every time I flip through a magazine or Ravelry and see something that makes me go, “AH! I LOVE that!”, I check the designer – Norah Gaughan! I’ve been able to follow along with her designs ever since and have knit several of them. I got to sit in on sales meetings with our awesome Berroco sales rep, Andra, and flip through the Norah volumes before they were released to the general public. ![]() Shortly thereafter, Norah was hired as design director at Berroco and I moved back home to work with my mom at the old Sage Fine Gifts and Yarn. Knitting Nature was the first pattern book I ever bought as a result of the internet in general and Ravelry specifically, and is one of my knitting treasures. I had no idea knitting could be like that! Over and over again, I checked the designer, and it was Norah Gaughan. They were really unique and inspiring – they looked nothing like what I had been making. I would browse the pattern database for hours and a handful of patterns kept jumping out at me. ![]() By the time I settled in to a quiet obsession, I had a huge blogroll of knitting and spinning blogs that I checked in on daily, and I had signed up for this brand new knitting website – Ravelry. I picked knitting up, in earnest, in the two years I had between undergraduate and graduate school. Almost to the beginning of my real, capital K, Knitting days. ![]()
