Happy New Year! I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow!

MODE AT ROWAN COLLECTION ONE MODE at ROWAN is a new design series for Rowan, timeless designs that can work together to create your knit wardrobe! Photographed in two colourways, knit in classic Rowan yarns. I give you all the details of each design. I chose to knit the 002 Cardigan, a Martin Storey design.....substituting the New Rowan Island Blend combined with Kidsilk Haze, for Kid Classic as called for in the pattern. Island Blend is a soft yarn, lovely to knit with, just look at the combination of fibres! Falkland Island Merino, Baby Alpaca and Silk!
