Rowan Big Wool Cabled Sweater

Originally this sweater, I frogged it because the deep v-neck design was not practical for Toronto weather. Then I found this design in Vogue knitting, which used the exact same number of Rowan Big Wool. After trying to make the ruffle work (reknit it 2 times using different colors), I eventually ripped off the ruffle and crochet an big wool edging (imagine without the white fluffy stuff).

Rowan Beret (2)

Originally used to knit the flapper hat from Vogue Knitting Winter 2005 but the Filatura Di Crosa Super Soft yarn and the pattern didn't go too well. Instead, I liked the beret from Rowan sooooo much (the Ribbon Twist one in the previous post), I used the yarn to knit the same pattern. Very warm for winter!

Rowan Biggy Print Flip Hat

Last year, I knitted a mini capelet, also with Rowan Biggy Print. So resistably cute but oh so impractical for Toronto winters. I tore it apart and turned it into a warm cap (Flip from Rowan Big Easy).
