Rowan Launch

It’s Rowan launch day. My books and yarn haven’t arrived yet but should be here tomorrow. It was a comedy of errors between myself and Rowan (mostly me). 

Get ready for summer with Rowan Magazine 73. In Shell Seekers we take a trip to the coast with a collection of beach and surfside inspired knits for all the family. Using a seashell palette with splashes of sailing boat brights, this story will instantly transport you to carefree days by the sea. With deckchair stripes, rock pool motifs and fishing net cables, knit your way to perfect coastal style. 

Heading for warmer climes this summer? Get sunshine-ready with our Old Town story. High summer cotton tops, summery vests, casual sweaters and cute cardigans are worked in a palette of hot Mediterranean brights and cool bleached whites. Beat the heat with this resort-inspired collection.

Here is the start of the Rowan books online. The newest books will show up first.

Sorry Lynn. Lynn will be in the store tomorrow and there will be 7 boxes coming from Rowan and 3 from Hedgehog.

I will be working from home looking after the dogs. While I’m there I will get all the new books and yarns online.

The new book Neons & Neutrals will be available on Friday. Another job for tomorrow. 😀. March has just started and it’s already a great month. Lots of new yarns and books!!

Neons & Neutrals: A Knitwear Collection Curated by Aimée Gille of La Bien Aimée is a sequel to Aimée’s first book, the best-selling Worsted. This collection, if possible, is even better and includes 16 patterns from 16 talented designers. It is an eclectic collection of patterns that invites crafters to combine yarn in new and unexpected ways across brands and bases. The designs showcase modern knitting at its best, using a variety of techniques and unique and unexpected color combinations. Most of the patterns are photographed in two different samples – worked in different colors and yarns, giving you ample inspiration for your own versions.

The collection celebrates solidarity and cooperation: to showcase the many talented people in the knitting community, Aimée has put together a collection of not only patterns from designers around the world, but yarns from a variety of producers and dyers. All of them work beautifully together and different sizes and price points have also been taken into account.

The book features designs by the following designers: Inese Sang, Maaike van Geijn, Karen Cronje, Anna Husemann, Layla Yang, Caitlyn Turowski, Cecelia Campochiaro, Valerie Ng, Maysa Tomikawa, Florence Spurling, Lotta H Löthgren, Brandi Cheyenne Harper, Marie Régnier, Susan Chin, Brienne Moody and Julia Wilkens.

Have a great evening. It’s almost time for Survivor.
