![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
