    I want to knit the Ukraine vest, but I think I would make the ribbing a little longer - cropped anything doesn't look too great on me. Where can I buy the new Rowan magazine? I have never seen them on the magazine rack at the store, and the local yarn shop doesn't carry them either. The only Rowan publication I own is a baby knitting book, and I bought it from Webs. ??

    And I must confess that when I looked at the beautiful projects and models it made me feel like a complete frump. :-)

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits.
