Are you a Downton Abbey Fan?

-

If you are...you might like this....a brand new collection of
accessories done with +RowanYarns Fine Art yarn!

 These designs all seem to be named for Artists....
this one is called SIBISI

 but to me there is a definite Downton Abbey vibe - what do you think?

This could be Lady Cora - the "American" who's
money saved Downton back in the day.....
Mother of 3 lovely girls...but no male heir......tisk....
She always sees things just a bit clearer than her bumbling Earl Hubby :)

PIERNEEF

..... Lady Mary waiting
for Matthew to come home from the war....
a case of she didn't know what she had...until he found someone else...
then when they finally get together....
Matthew wants out of the series (actors....take the steady pay check!)

HADEN

 ...Lady Edith....before she started to "show"...
pining away for her beau who has disappeared into thin air...

He probably realized what kind of crazies these Crawleys
were and took the first boat out of there!

BAINES

...Lady Sybil....when she ran off with the Chauffeur
to Ireland.....trying to dress down....but just couldn't :)

I really liked this character....too bad she left the series too!


SEKOTO

 ...ahhhhh.....the cousin, Lady Rose....
a bit bored by the whole stuffy Downton thing....
wishing she were with her nightclub singer boyfriend...
wondering what is going to happen at her "coming out" ball....


Yes, I'm playing with Blogger layout and templates...again....I love those Dynamic views...but I really don't like how they work...so it's back to the "simple" template....with a new header photo....taken during the "Power Outage of Christmas 2013"...which won't be forgotten around here for a long time!

    Lovely knits, but I have to say I am now an ex-Downton fan. I will watch season 4, but not with the same anticipation I have had at the start of the other seasons. I like your new header!

    Hooray, back to what I know and love. I like the Downton associations, Anne. What a thin thin model though. I wish Rowan would use normal women for their photoshoots......

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. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor...
