Love Love LOve it. It is a fair isle design that is stylish enought that I would love to wear it. Question for the experts.... as someone who has zero ability to modify a pattern.... autumn rose has a slightly lower neckline than I'd feel comfortable with. Maybe 1-2 inches higher.... is there an easy method to making a change? I think this will be my next challenge when I complete my Persian Tiles. :) The colors are just perfect!
Autumn Rose - beautiful colors and knitting! Can't wait to see the sleeve and body knitted together - so exciting! Makes me want to get back to stranded knitting! m :)
I took "Rose" on vacation with me (I'm posting this from Vancouver Island) and lo and behold - forgot the shetland black at home!!!!! I've done as much on the sleeve as I can without the black but I'm so mad at myself. It's a great pattern and none of the yarn stores here carry the Shetland 2 ply. It looks beautiful so far. Can't wait to see yours.

Latest Life LDC Knits youtube episode is up! This blog post is in addition to the video update (I always think of things to talk about or write about here that I haven’t in the other platform :) ) It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada! I’ve got a lot to be thankful for this year! We moved…and I’m so thankful that all went well, that we have made a great decision for our future, that we are settling in! I’m thankful, yes seriously, to Rowan Yarns for their Rowan Connect events! I like (ed) to go to knit workshops and travelled yearly, usually to the UK, for events. With Covid all that stopped. (I was just about to get on a plane the Thursday before Canada shut down, but miraculously had made the decision to change plans and not worry about the expense of cancelling.) Rowan Connect is the on line portal for all things educational for Rowan. They held their first 2 day event this Spring and I attended! It was great to be at home (in your pjs if you wanted) and be able to zoom into pres...
