Moordale - "Made in Britain"

-

I was so excited to get this new yarn by Rowan on my needles - so I knit up the Buckler Hat and I have to say, I LOVE this new yarn! British Bluefaced Leister and Alpaca combined to make a yarn with personality....lustre and strength, in 12 beautiful shades!

The Moordale Collection of 14 sweaters and accessories by Martin Storey has something for everyone!

Check out the Rowan Yarns channel for their video on "The Making of Moordale"...



and a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot for the Moordale Collection too!



The Moordale Collection is available in print (patterns in both English and German) OR as electronic downloads (buy the collection or individual patterns) at Knitrowan.com !

Enjoy!

Happy Knitting,

Anne x

    Always wonderful to see your Rowan reviews Anne! Living down here in the deep south - we've had almost NO winter - BOOOO - very little time to wear my handknits. I also enjoy seeing your knitted items and the snow and cardinal videos were gorgeous. Keep up the good work with your you tube channel. Mel

      Thanks Mel! Do you wear cotton knits? I'm trying to make a wardrobe of hand knits to wear in all situations....hot and cold both.....Linen and cotton for the summer!

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

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
