Too much Rowan?
Can you have too much Rowan? The great thing about the start of a new year is that I get to think about all of the possibilities. Part of that involves stash enhancement and pattern perusal. Yum. So, I bought these lovely packs:
First the Cork. I am so disappointed that Rowan has discontinued this yarn. It is light enough for winter wear in Texas and a little chunkier for a fast knit. I bought the grey last year with the Cork Collection Book. The green was a bargain through ebay ($30 for the pack!).

Here are the patterns that interest me:
This is Bless. I bought the grey to make this since it looks fairly classic and, big plus, cables!
And I think that Martha will look really nice in the blue:

I'm not sure what to do with the green.. But there is always that cute cabled sock pattern in Holiday Handknits.
And, a little late in the denim parade, I want to use this:

That's the two color Voyage from Denim People. That just looks fun. Plus, I want to test out the denim before I commit to making a sweater for my husband. He needs to take a touch test of the fabric to see if it works...

This lovely yarn is discontinued, but it continues to amaze me as I work with it. It has nubby little flecks of bright green, blue and red that show up every once in a while. I'll get a better shot of the knitted fabric next week. And, here's what it will be:
This is Tippi from Rowan's A Season's Tale. Right now I'm on sleeve island, but should finish the pieces this weekend. Pictures soon!
