    Hello Anne, Gorgeous Rowan 54. I love Bizet. It is knitted in 4 ply, has fairisle and is a timeless design.
    Happy knitting
    Stephanie

      Bizet is a timeless design...you'll wear it forever!

      You had to click to get the larger photo to truly see how beautiful this design is.....and the motif on the cuff of the sleeve.

      Good luck in the draw Stephanie!

    I'd knit the Holbein, but only if I can take the model home with me.

    I always struggle to choose what to knit first when my Rowan magazine arrives, but have finally settled on Angela. Love the cables!

    I love the look of Angela too. Those poor slim models really don't do this sweater justice. There has been conversation on Ravelry about the depth of the Raglan....so have a look at that!

    Good luck to you too Linda!

      Armenia is rated for the "average" knitter! I know you aren't average in any way! You can do this! :)

      Good luck in the draw!

    I am a fan of Kate Davies' designs, and her Nepal wrap would be such a quick knit. Thanks for offering the magazine, I'd love to win it!

    So hard to choose a fave since I've only seen Marie Wallin's review and haven't yet gone over the Rowan review you talked about here. I was taken (as always) by several of Kaffe's designs. It was mainly the awesome photography and models which drew me in. Frankly I have not purchased the big Rowan mags for several years - it got to the point that there wasn't anything in there that could be worn by a slightly overweigh short 50something woman so I just quite purchasing.
    Thanks for the giveaway opp - Melody

    Please throw my name into the hat! If I win I will qualify for the alternate prize since you convinced me to sign up for the Rowan subscription in your last post. :-)

    The Rowan magazine is not available in any store in Rhode Island that I can find! Sigh. Many LYS s have closed. I would love to make Anatolia, if I could size it to fit a woman of my age!
