Rowan Magazine 62
August 15, 2017
Rowan's official fall/winter launch date is today. You'll start seeing the Magazine 62 in your local knitting shops any day now. I know many of you are Rowan magazine collectors and this one does not disappoint. Rowan is right on trend with an abundance of long, loopy, oversized cables in chunky yarns. There are some light-handed colorwork pieces--you'll see it mostly in two, sometimes three colors. I counted seven gorgeous over-sized coats and I know I'll have to make at least one. The sweaters are a mix of fitted and oversized. You'll also see a mix of DK, worsted, chunky, and bulky weights--something for everyone. Here are a few of my favorites:
Rowan is adding three new yarns to their core collection: Cashmere Tweed, a dk weight, Valley Tweed, a sport weight, and Alpaca Soft DK. I'm knitting up swatches and watching them bloom in a warm bath. Stayed tuned for my review coming soon!

DeleteI can't wait to read your yarn reviews, all three of those yarns really intrigue me! As for the patterns, a lot of your favorites are mine as well. Just wish I had my magazine so I could cast on!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait!
DeleteI like them all, but they are way above my knitting skills.
ReplyDeleteAwww, you'd be surprised how quickly knitting skills can be acquired. Baby steps, one at a time, and for me, every level of knitting is an enjoyable experience.
DeleteYou make my day when you make a comment!
