| The back is done....it took 2.5 skeins...... |
I have to tell you.....NO PHOTOGRAPH does justice to this yarn. The colours in this photo are brighter than in real life. I never thought that space dyed yarns were my thing....but I love the hand of this yarn....I love the stitch definition....and I love how the cables look! The pooling does change throughout the knitted piece...you have to just let go and enjoy!
Space Dyed yarn just keeps coming back over and over. While browsing Pinterest, I came across these two examples......

| This Space-Dyed yarn Poncho Sweater is by Michael Kors |
 |
| This Space-Dyed yarn sweater from Missoni is in a subtle grey colour way |
Ute, one of my fellow Rowan bloggers, used a Rowan design for an aran weight yarn, knit it up in Fine Art Aran...and it is spectacular! You can check it out here!
4 or 5 FREE skeins of Rowan Fine Art Aran......what are you waiting for! PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE CONTACT INFO - A RAVELRY NAME OR YOUR BLOG ADDRESS?!?
Happy Knitting,

I think you're knitting Emley, I would make Brockholes if I was an experienced knitter. I like the denim yarn you had on your previous post, might have to treat myself to some.
ReplyDeleteI think you maybe working on Emley. I know it's the one I'd like to make for myself.
ReplyDeleteEmley
ReplyDeleteAnonymous is Irene McHarg-Coey. I didn't know how to work "select a profile"
ReplyDeleteI I would love to knit Marsden. Are you knitting Emley?
ReplyDeletethe cablework gives it away as Emley. If I were knitting for me I would go with Durkar. I love that yoke neckline. - Rebecca Kissling
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit Marsden...is that what you're knitting? debbever on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteI would like to knit Hepworth and guess that this might be the one you are knitting
ReplyDeleteHepworth! Memerediane on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteEmley it is. Can't wait to see Ithe complete project! I would like to begin work on 'Marsden' to wear it for my London/Europe trip. Your blog on the Faraway scarf, love the new yarn, Rowan Finest, knitted with Kidsilk Haze Stripe. I am MichelleChua on Ravelry. Happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteI would knit Durkar as I need more cardis but I think you may be knitting Emley.
ReplyDeletelindarumsey on Ravelry
That's unreal that we all guessed wrong. If I was going to knit something from the collection it would definitely be Marsden.
ReplyDeleteYou are making Emley. I would make Meltham but don't think I have the body for it. ;(
ReplyDeleteSeajaes from Ravelry
I think you are knitting the Marsden, I would knit Brockholes...Ravelry: Debpetty
ReplyDeleteWith those cables, I think it is Emley that you are knitting. Great colours. Me, I like Marsden. Rav ID: Ajane
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit Hepworth. Lots of beauties in that book. Yours is lovely too. Thanks for the giveaway off. Melody
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit Durkar. Simple and chic. Are you knitting Emley?
ReplyDeleteasteride on Ravelry
I think you are knitting Emley, and I would love to knit Durkar! I like Brockholes too, but I think I would wear Durkar more. :) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI have shade Fandango on my needles!
ReplyDeleteAre you knitting Marsden? I would like to make Hepworth. Love your color! Debbie Sanchez
ReplyDeleteI like cawthorne; it would be one I would like to try myself.
ReplyDeleteEmley I think, love the pattern. But I would love Durkar, love the pattern and the name.
ReplyDeleteI think it has to be Emley you're knitting. Funny, I was so sure you would choose Cawthorne. I think that's what I would knit. I like the look of the Michael Kors poncho sweater. Good find, Anne! Personally, I'm WAY into the Rowan Fine Art sock yarn. Have been really on a sock knitting spree with it this summer. It's a great way to explore how the space dyeing can be put to different effect.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne!! Hope you're well!!! I think you're knitting Emley
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Emley is my favorite one in this collection, though many are lovely! ��
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit marsden. I am genevievep on ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI like them all, I think I would start with Brockholes first.
ReplyDeleteI like the pattern for Marsden.
ReplyDeleteI'm never good at guessing, or choosing! I have a hard time just choosing my "project next"! Ravelry id LadyBugsyJane
ReplyDeleteI would like to knit the Durkar cardigan for myself and DD's,this pattern would appeal to all ages/ sizes.MaidMarrion on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern you are knitting looks like Emley. MaidMarrion on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI think you're knitting Emley which is my joint fav with Durkar - I'm always torn between jumpers & cardis! I love your colourway, hot pink, orange & yellow always look amazing together. Ravelry: jubble66
ReplyDeleteI'd love to knit Hepworth. My ravelry is haedcrazy
ReplyDeleteI want to knit Emley, it shows off the yarn well. Ravelry owenkath
ReplyDeleteI'd supplement your 4-5 skeins and knit a Kadinsky pullover. Or, swatch and see if I could find a Sweet Spot, then knit a Turner slouch hat and share a couple skeins with a friend. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is cheating, I still think you're knitting Emley, just wanted to say I have finished sewing up my Kal and am ready to start on the border, my deadline is end of Sept. My ravelry name is Crafty Jude.
ReplyDeleteI think you are knitting mars den at least I would be if I had the wool! I am debra sky on ravelry
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit Munch, a proper snuggly Winter knit!
ReplyDeleteHope this is the right site, for the drawing of the leftover Aran fine art. Really like your check list, I need to check out the increases, maybe i'll do a small swatch. I do love this yarn "after" the blocking.
ReplyDeleteI love both patterns and would do both. You can never have too many sweaters
ReplyDeleteLove Emley...debbever on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make Durkar for my Granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteHepworth and Durkar are both fab. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteI now know you are almost finished knitting Emley.....I would like to make Marsden..Ravelry - Wiartonknits
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit durkar
ReplyDeleteDurkar because I love to layer.
ReplyDeleteMarsden and Emley are my top choices!!
ReplyDeleteMy badass side really likes Brockholm but I think I'd end up knitting "safe" Marsden instead :-) Thanks for the giveaway! Welshcob on Ravelry
ReplyDeleteEmley, I believe. the yarn looks scrumptious.
