Normally, I'm very excited when my copy of the latest Rowan Knitting and Crochet Magazine arrives. Rowan 43 came in the mail yesterday.
The cover photo is beautiful (as usual). I'm not sure if any of the designs appeal to me--but that's okay, I have a long queue as it is. I don't think I'm disappointed in the issue--I am indifferent. I prefer Rowan's Fall/Winter designs. Tweeds. Sweaters. The Spring/Summer palette is usually too bright and colorful for me.
Knitting Update
I just want to start some sweaters for ME!--But I can't do that until I knock out some projects:
I finished a third cat sweater, the dragon scale cat sweater. I have two more cat sweaters, than I swear, never again.
I have one baby-sized lace-leaf hat to make and something to match it... for a baby girl due in March. Maybe a lace-leaf baby dress?
I finished all the knitting for my lace-leaf pullover, but I can't seem to get started on re-doing the graft and dyeing the sweater before I seam it together. Also, I have yarn left over so I may make a lace-leaf hat to match the sweater. It totally works.
Adam's almost-finished sweater vest is waiting on the sidelines for some attention. Perhaps I will try to make it a Valentine's Day gift. Teehee. I make no promises...
Happy knitting!
