June 18 was National Splurge Day. Who knew?

I guess Berroco knew!  In case you don't receive their weekly KnitBits, Berroco is offering you free patterns this summer for doing something you already do - enjoy Berroco yarn.  Between June 18 and Friday, September 18th, buy $25 or more of Berroco yarn and you'll earn a free pattern.  Just email a copy or photo of your receipt to info@berroco.com, and they'll send you a voucher for a free Berroco pattern of your choice.  Spending more than that?  You'll get a voucher for every $25 you spend, so if you spend $100, you'll get 4 vouchers.  Very cool indeed! 

To get inspired, come see the Berroco Indigotrunk show this week. I'm really excited about Berroco Indigo, an earth-friendly yarn spun from recycled denim.  Indigo has generous yardage, beautiful stitch definition, and a great earthy look.  It's as comfortable to wear as your favorite blue jeans, and the colors will take you back to your favorite shade of fade!  Here are my favorites from the trunk show.  This cardigan, which we actually received as a shop sample, is the perfect thing to wear over summer tanks.  I actually grabbed it Saturday and tossed it on to keep me warm at the grocery store.   

I also love this cool sleeveless top -- great on its own or under a jacket for work.  I tried this on, and it's absolutely perfect.  The lace panel makes it a fun knit.  Details here.  

Another of my summer favorites is Modern Cotton - silky soft hand, 25 brilliant colors, and a tremendous value.  Machine washable too.  Really, in a summer yarn, who could ask for anything more?  The standout favorites from the Modern Cotton trunk show were Eula, a super fast and swingy top, and Rose, a beautiful long cardigan.  Both are garments you can knit now and enjoy all year long.

So come choose your favorite and enjoy free patterns courtesy of Berroco!
