K4 P4 Swatch Cowl....

-
My Swatch Cowl Trilogy is complete!

This K4 P4 cowl really compliments this yarn....

This photo shows how this shade, Bachata 551
 looks in stocking stitch....
(go to KnitRowan.com to see how the other
shades of +RowanYarns Fine Art Aran looks
in stocking stitch!)

Sometimes it is hard to visualize how a skein of yarn will knit up....

that's why I highly recommend buying a skein or two and swatching....

you can always use a simple cowl to add to an outfit....
and they make great gifts....

with Christmas coming up fast, that can only be a good thing!

      Hello Anne:
      Thanks for the neat swatching ideas!
      I am also wondering whether, as a Rowan Ambassador, you have any links to information on where Rowan obtains their angora yarn? They say they are an "ethically conscious" brand, but do they source their Angora Haze yarn from a producer that treats their rabbits kindly? I could not find anything on their website.
      Many thanks ...

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...
