Mahonia Madness

-
I'm not usually a multi-project type of knitter - but lately, I must say, variety has proved to be very productive.

My Warm Lindisfarne to satisfy my Fair Isle stranded type of craving, my Kidsilk Haze Striped scarf when I want something luscious and portable, and my Mahonia just because it was one of those sweaters that called to me - something modern in styling, but traditional in the yarn used - a great combo.
I love Rowan's Purelife British Sheep Breeds Chunky  - this is the Shetland Moorit shade !
Funny that darker stripe just above the ribbing.


















It does't show in normal light.........

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...
