Current hair colour change not approved by me, which is probably why it is that colour. We love it on the Fingering/Sock base, a balanced blend of merino and nylon. (Styling – and the decision to match rainbow socks with a rainbow dress also Megan’s. Yarn: Regia Cotton Color 4079 – pinched from her Mum’s stash (This proves that despite her height and gorgeousness, she actually carries my DNA.) You may note that Meg’s ends are not woven in and she is wearing them anyway. These are her very first finished pair (there have been some false starts), and I am proud as punch of her. In other news, my 15 and 3/4 year old daughter Meg knit socks. That sweater, (with Vanessa’s modifications) rocks it so simply hard, that I actually am delusional enough to believe that I would look like a million bucks in it, short…or not. There are people in the world… Stacy and Clint among them, who would say that a woman possessing the lofty height of 5’1″ (almost) is not deserving (or in a position to be flattered by) a sweater with a large collar, but, my esteemed collegues…I say….

A great gift or addition to your project supplies These come on a wire clasp to hang from your project bag (picture 5). Rowan’s Scottish Tweed Aran in the incredibly enticing colour of “Storm Grey” (004) Ready to ship exactly as pictured Knitting stitch marker set of 9 handmade beaded markers with Over the Rainbow themed charms. I started hunting the perfect yarn and Sunday at Magpie Yarn, there it was. Vanessa swapped out the wool/cotton for another Rowan yarn, and made the front a little higher so that it wasn’t quite so “come hither” and now it’s perfect. That’s Vanessa’s blog, pointed my way in a post by the esteemed Claudia, it’s the same sweater, the same one I wandered right by with an “eh” last fall and now all off a sudden and without a word of a lie, with every fibre of my being… Admittedly, when I am weak and run down from the peculiar madness that has become my life, I am strange and vulnerable, but dudes.check this sweater out. It was almost a perfect sweater, but knitting is way too slow an art to do anything that’s just “almost”. Plus, it was knit of Rowan Wool/Cotton held double, and no part of that sounded fun. I liked it, and part of the charm was surely the name (being as fond as I am of the live Juno) …but dudes, the plunging neckline? The off the shoulder “I’m so cool I’m freezing” look? Not so much. Such was the case when I first saw Rowan’s Juno sweater. I am a knitter of some experience and immunity, and the longer I knit the less often I am totally possessed by something. In every knitters life, there are moments that seize ones being and catalyse an enormous seething reaction where you didn’t even know you needed something…and suddenly you can’t live without it.
