Martin Storey - Easy Aran Knits!
Yes, MORE ARAN designs coming your way, this time from Martin Storey in his
This design collection uses two Aran weight yarns....
Rowan's Fine Art Aran - now with 6 tonal shades added to the 8 hand painted original shades;
and the new Super Fine Merino Aran - in a range of 12 sophisticated solids!
The designs in this collection are classed as "easy", but that doesn't mean they are plain or heaven forbid, boring!
I could go on and on about this collection. These are just my personal favourites!
Do you like to watch the designs as shown in a video format? Well....
or, check them out on the KnitRowan web site here....Easy Aran Knits!
Don't you sometimes look at these photos and wonder if the models are cold...or just how do they get into those positions (like the middle of a creek?); well, you'll love this "behind the scenes" video of the photo shoot for "Easy Aran Knits! You'll see Lisa Richardson wearing her "Art Direction and Stylist" hat!
So don't forget, ALL of these designs can be knit in either the NEW Super Fine Merino Aran, the luxurious Fine Art Aran, OR, wait for it.....Hemp Tweed!
Yes, Rowan has included a yarn conversion chart in the Easy Aran Knits collection detailing just how many balls of these yarns you'd need to knit any of these designs!
I think these conversion charts are wonderful! Imagine being able to pick your design, your favourite yarn, or maybe you'll pick by shade from the range of shades available in these 3 yarns!
You are truly in charge of your knitting!
Happy Knitting everyone!

 |
| "Clayton" teams the casual sweatshirt style (neckline detail, raglan sleeves... |
 |
| and a hand warmer pocket), with the new "Super Fine Merino Aran" (Dusk 013) to reach a whole new level of casual sophistication! |
 |
| "Woolley" is another "easy" raglan design, with a knit/purl textured allover check pattern. It is shown here in Fine Art Aran (Squirrel 002) |
 |
| "Saltaire" is a long "Coatigan" with side slit deep bottom rib and handy front body pockets! It's shown here in Super Fine Merino Aran (Sage 011) |
 |
| I think Martin does fabulous designs for men... "Clifton" is a fine example! Take the luxurious Fine Art Aran (Vole 006) and knit it up into a hooded pullover style that is great worn on it's own, and perfect layered under a jacket! |
 |
| Here Martin takes a double breasted cardigan and with the oversized collar and slip stitch rib detail, "Preston" becomes a stylish statement piece. Shown here in Fine Art Aran (Dormouse 005) |
 |
| "Eske" shows just how challenging it can be to model for Rowan! This cropped cardigan has wide square set in sleeves and a single button closure! Shown here in Super Fine Merino Aran (Bilberry 012) |
Have a good look at all of the designs, because as I said, simple doesn't have to mean plain or boring....sometimes simple is simply perfect!
