Life LackaDaisiCal

In February 2013, I got to visit Liberty of London. Although we travel to the UK a lot, and have recently been to London a few times, I had never been to Liberty! I had heard of the fabulous  +RowanYarns  display..... and wanted to see for myself (drats - that's the cord from my camera sneaking into the shot!) Every kind of Rowan Yarn available..... and every Rowan publication..... All in one spot! at the time....this was the sweater on display.... Merrion by Marie Wallin from the Rowan Tweed Collection I loved it so much that I came right home and ordered the yarn.... haven't started it yet though... Do you do this?  See something, fall for it HARD, order the yarn, then get intrigued by something else? Please tell me I'm not ALONE!!!

When the +RowanYarns  "Tweed" collection was published, I immediately put "Merrion" in my queue... and I proceeded to acquire... Rowan Fine Tweed ! Unfortunately my LRS ( Local Rowan Stockist ) doesn't carry this particular Rowan yarn (although she does carry A LOT OF ROWAN!)  so I had to go to one of my favourite on-line stockists... Churchmouse Yarns & Teas ....with a few clicks of the computer....a few days later.... My yarn had arrived! Churchmouse packages their yarn so beautifully, and Susan included a thank you note..... "The colours are so beautiful - this looks like a lovely box of Candy" Susan said ....and I have to agree! Look at the gorgeous shades, the size and shape of the balls......yummy! This yarn has been safely stashed ever since.....then the unthinkable happened! The Nepal Wrap, Magazine 54 by Kate Davies... Kate wrote a wonderful blog post about this design...read it here ..... ...
