And then, as if my DK dilemma wasn't enough to keep me occupied for the best part of this winter, I also succumbed to the lure that is Rowan's Bigger Picture:

You can see all the patterns in the booklet HERE.
Now, I'm lusting after Rowan Big Wool and Biggy Print. I would really like to knit this sweater:

And this one too:

And this cardigan looks soooo cozy!

And I think D might really like this sweater:

And they all look like they could be finished in about 5 minutes as well! I could knit lots and lots of them! Well, if I could afford lots and lots of Rowan Big Wool and Biggy Print, that is. That stuff is expensive. Maybe I should get spinning and just create my own yarn...
No idea for the Rowanspun DK but I am sure you'll find something to make with it at the end. Just be patient and the right pattern will turn up soon or later. I like those big wool patterns and you're right they look as if they can be done in a week-end...
ReplyDeleteI love chunky yarns and patterns as well. They provide almost instant gratification! Rowan yarns can be a bit pricey though.
ReplyDeleteI love Rowan patterns but I can't afford the books, let alone the yarn. ;) Tho' I did just splurge on some KidSilk. Those sweaters you've picked all look so cozy - I am ready for fall to arrive!
ReplyDeleteThe chunky tends to pill quite a lot so you have to care for it nicely. I love the self-portrait tuesday thing. Tempting....
