Studio 30 ...the future of knitting!

-
I called in a specialist to review Rowan's Studio Issue 30.

 12 Designs for children, sized for newborns to 5 years!
(10 in the book - 2 are on-line)

 Designed by Sarah Hatton
using Rowan's Baby Merino Silk DK
My reviewer is 4, so he is in the targeted market range!
A thorough assessment was made...every photograph scrutinized and critiqued...

 "I like blue" was the most common comment.

His Mom is a great knitter....and of her 3 kids (2 girls, this one boy)
he regularly asks when he will be old enough to knit!

 Here he is fellow knitters!  The Future of Knitting!

If you have any little ones in your life to knit for (kids or grand kids), you'll love Rowan Studio 30.

"Folk influences were to be found for both adult and child's wear this season and Rowan Studio 30 offers a capsule wardrobe of knits for every little fashionista! From a cosy 'grandad' cardigan for boys to a pretty cape for girls. Hopefully this collection will have everyone wishing they were young again."  


The Baby Merino Silk DK is a lovely yarn...and would make spectacular sweaters.  The Mom of my reviewer thought it expensive for a sweater for a child.  Yes, maybe I said, but a sweater knit in Baby Merino Silk DK would be something to enjoy now, and cherish for future generations...you would be creating a family heirloom!

She sighed...Mothers of 3 do that quite a bit I've noticed.)



Oh, and my reviewer's final choice?
  

Hazel...one of the on-line patterns.
 "It's green" he says!

Thank you to Rowan Yarns for providing a copy of Rowan Studio 30 for me to review! 

 and... Thank You to my guest reviewer and his Mom!  (You know who you are!)

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits. We talked about the different beads available out in the bead wor

Happy New Year!  I really fell out of communication here and on youtube with my 2022 Advent Knit challenge, didn’t I? Well, here are the 3 videos that detail what I had planned, how I progressed and while I didn’t finish as per the schedule I’d set myself….it is finished and I’m happy! This first video details the plan…..and also has updates on my sock knitting. This video was my week 1 update….and then, well, things all got complicated and I disappeared until well, right now! February 17, 2023! Yes, I’ve finished the gorgeousWonderland Shawl by Chloe Thurlow! It’s such an effective design - easy intarsia blocks broken up with a horizontal line…..and finished off with vertical crochet or embroidered lines for that tartan look!
