I received my Rowan Summer Tweed Collection a few days ago and the more I look at it, the more I love it. I love every pattern in that book. Not that I will make every one (I couldn’t wear every one), but I love it none the less. I have decided that once I finish my Sigma Tank, homespun afghan and about 1/2 of my country afghan, I will be making chamomile. The design is so me, I know I will love it when I put it on.

My husband wants me to make something with teeny stitches, like Arabella in Rowan #35. I’m not sure I like Arabella, so I have to find something else to make in size 2-3 needles.

I’m about 1/2 way up my tank and I’m trying to join the yarn seamlessly so you can’t tell that it was joined. So far not working, but I’m trying. I’ve already broken it back to the join so I could try again. I wasn’t happy with the holes it left. If I have to, I’ll grab some scrap yarn and keep trying till I get it, then go back to my tank. I think once I get up to the armholes, it will go pretty fast and since right now, it’s straight knitting in the round, it’s going pretty quickly, if I could just figure out how to join the yarn right.
