The Rowan Project is where I will be knitting something from each of the Rowan Magazines, starting at number 1. Yes, the very FIRST Rowan Magazine. I have started a page where you can follow the finished projects. My desire is to take the pattern as is and just do it, unless, I feel it needs a little bit of a modern touch. So far we have the Women’s Cable Pullover, Pattern 8a, Rowan 1.

Rowan Wool Cotton in grey, on size US 5 needles. I started off using a cable needle and then found
Grumperina’s tutorial on knitting without a cable needle. So I tried it out. First with my Addi Turbo’s but I found that the tip was a bit too blunt. SO. I went and got my knitpicks needles. Perfect!
Other Knitting News:I have my first pattern written out.
Salt Spring Waves sock pattern is available at
Knit Front and Back as a free pattern!
Personal Non-Knitting News: I quit my job. Yes I know. I only got it a few months ago, but I gave my notice on Monday. The role is one that is too junior for me and not challenging. I am going to an Architecture firm outside of the downtown core (means I no longer pay for parking! YAY!), work the same hours in a funky atmosphere. The position is brand new to them and I will be writing my job description, tailoring the position to the needs of the firm and myself. It is really exciting as I see the possibilities of a career that will make me happy and help provide me with a great career. I start on the 6th but will be going in on the next two fridays to meet people during their “beer and wine hour” at 4pm! I will also be able to tailor my schedule to meet the needs that I have with Cameron. Also, if I want to work a bit extra during the days I can get every other Friday off ect. One of the neat things was going into the back of the office and seeing the wall of paint chip colors. OMG. Heaven. I can see standing there looking at the colors and imagining yarn and patterns.
And Cameron is playing Hockey. He is so cute. I am very proud of him. As soon as I get pictures I’ll post.
