New Rowan

Rowan 45 arrived over a week ago and I have been slowly absorbing its contents.  When I looked at the preview photos, I was not really taken with anything, and yet I ordered it anyway.  Rowan, along with Vogue Knitting, are most buys for me and I am happy to have a collection of them.  I find that I come back to these patterns over and again and even when something doesn't speak to me immediately, I always end up making several things from each issue.

I suspect this issue will be one that grows slowly on my affections and worms its way into my wardrobe little bits and pieces at a time.  It is not that the sweaters aren't lovely.  There are some that are classically beautiful and some that I just adore, but not perhaps for me.  

At the moment only one is speaking to me of near-term knitting.  Loumarin captures my fancy and the mood of my wardrobe of late and it may well be added to my spring list, whenever I start that spring list.

The spring patterns are coming out and are all very tempting.   But it snowed yet again today and I haven't seen the actual ground for over six weeks.  

I am not yet ready to start dreaming of spring knitting.  There looks to be a good bit of winter left.  I think I need to knit something warm and cozy before I start thinking about lightweight little summer knitting fluff.

We need to average out our weather. It has been 80F for weeks on end. I am ready for rain.

OTOH, the global scale waves have a half wavelength of ~3000 miles (at our latitude). If your coast is cold, my coast is warm and vice versa.
