Next up:
Kenmare, designed by Martin Storey, knit from Rowan SoftKnit Cotton, another great yarn sadly discontinued by Rowan. It appears that I will be spending the summer knitting with discontinued Rowan yarns. But I’m not bitter . . .
I am using the “Aged Rose” colorway, which coincidentally is the color used to knit the sample.
I have the back done.
And the front will be done today or tomorrow.
It’s a fun and easy pattern, very easy to memorize. It’s patterned with traditional gansey motifs and I am a sucker for a traditional gansey, so I am enjoying every minute of this.
Loki says “Relax!”
Beautiful! I have some of yarn stashed away in a light purple color.
Love your Kenmare. The Aged Rose is a beautiful color.
Beautiful! I love it.
Soo pretty! Loki has the right idea, just relax!! lol! Sweet Loki!
“a fun and easy pattern, very easy to memorize” – Hah. For you! So, so pretty, Wendy. I will love to see you model this not-green sweater! 😀
I really like this sweater and surprisingly my son, who is very picky, does too.
So I am going to knit this for him. It looks like most people (on Ravelry) have knit this with
cotton/wool yarn or straight cotton. Do you think that’s necessary or would a wool do just as well?
Such a stunning colour!! And a delightful Loki
