Rowan 53!

-
Now that Rowan 53 is officially released....let me tell you what my favourites are....

HIP
Panama, Siena 4 ply & Kidsilk Haze
designed by Lisa Richardson

With my love for lots of colour - well, this one is my favourite for sure!
It looks spectacular paired with the bright red/orange skirt...a shade which you will notice
is NOT used in the design.  Hmmm....interesting.
I love the way Rowan styles their magazines!

(Note to self:  What about your orange silk slim legged pants?)

MARILYN
Summerspun & Purelife Revive
design by Galina Carroll

Shown knit up in Pumice Revive, with Piccadilly and Greenwich Summerspun.

This has a retro vibe that I love...and checking my stash, I have some Revive waiting
patiently in it's storage box to be united with some Summerspun!
I love the neckline on this!

(Note to self:  Get some big bangles in the Summerspun shades!)

TUTTI FRUTTI
Summerspun
design by Marie Wallin

I KNOW!!!! This is so unlike me!  But with my new crochet skills, wouldn't it
be fun to make up something exciting like this?

This is done in Nottinghill - this must be a new shade of Summerspun!
It isn't on the Rowan web site yet!

(Note to self:  Wouldn't this look great with white pants?)

 Now, I am notorious for knitting only wool...all year round...but I think this year I might stand a chance of having a couple of knits to wear this summer if I start NOW!

Of course, I must finish my Frances crochet scarf...I need it for an upcoming event!

Happy Knitting (and Crocheting too!)

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...
