Summer Anthology - Rowan Spring/Summer 2026

 

Spring Rowan has launched. Our boxes are with FedEx and they will be delivered on Wednesday. This is a brand new magazine using Rowan Summerlite DK. You can purchase the book online or in the store.

These are all brand new colours. Two won’t be in the order because somehow I missed them when I put my order in. They should be here in a week or so. 

Minty green shades fade into jade. Subtle golden specks remind us sunny days are just around the corner!

I laid out my sweater before bed last night. I just started the ribbing on the second sleeve. Unfortunately there is a problem. I only did 3 rows of the Spincycle on the second sleeve when I should have done 5. I need to take back the last chart and add two rows. 🤬👿🤬😂. I wasn’t happy with myself. I could leave it but every time I wear the sweater I will see the mistake. UGH!! Now I’m going to start ripping back.

Rowan Magazine No. 77

Rowan Magazine No. 77 is now available online for preorder. I can’t wait to share the beautiful garments with you.

Lisa K. Ross (Paper Daisy Creations) has a new shawl pattern. You can purchase the pattern for Among the Wildflowers on Ravelry.

No matter what time of year it is, dreaming of wildflower fields always conjures a peaceful moment. This top-down triangular shawl creates your very own field of wildflowers to enjoy all year long, with an extended wingspan that makes it so easy to wear. Brightly colored minis pair with a dark, high-contrast semi-solid create graphic results, or choose lower contrast for a more subtle approach. Each color is only used one at a time, so no stranding is required to create this eye-catching accessory that will ensure that you are forever Among the Wildflowers.

The shawl is knit with fingering weight yarn so you have many options.

Emma’s put together some kits and we will have them at the end of the month.

The movers brought all the furniture that was in storage. I started to get the guest room ready.

Dad and the dogs are comfortable.

There hasn’t been any knitting. Maybe tomorrow.

It feels like spring is coming

It was a beautiful day in Ancaster today. There are puddles everywhere and the snow is starting to melt.

I was working on the website and realized that I missed this magazine last spring. There are 4 designs knit in Rowan Summerlite 4ply.

The magazine has been added to the website.

We have lots of Summerlite 4ply in stock and more will be coming the week of March 10th. 

The Spring/Summer Rowan will launch on March 14th. There will be new patterns using Summerlite 4ply.

Summerlite 4ply is made using 100% of the finest cotton resulting in a beautifully soft, matt yarn, which boasts a wonderful, summery tonal colour palette. This yarn is a perfect choice for spring and summer designs such as a pretty shrug or evening time cardigan. It has brilliant stitch definition, meaning that all types of textures are showcased perfectly.

I visited Trish today and now my hair feels much better. After running a few errands I came home to place orders. There was some paperwork that the lawyers need for Friday morning and I think Beth and I have it figured out.

Mode at Rowan should be arriving tomorrow. Once we unpack the box I will put the pattern inventory online.

Fred loves the nice weather. We can’t get him in the house.
