Do you get berroco knit bits?  I am not sure if this is just for shops, but there was a pattern book sent out yesterday with  8 really good patterns in this set.  We have copies of the patterns at the shop.  These are great summer top patterns.  There are tanks, shawl type sweaters, and basic cardigans.  The guage is 5.5 sts to the inch and you can use the new ultra pima from cascade.  This yarn is beautiful!!  There are great colors with a really nice sheen.   Great yardage- 220 yards per sk. at $ 9.50 a sk(30% off during the sale)
