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 Big Wool Lotta

I picked up some Rowan Big Wool on sale at the Naked Sheep on Beaches. I love dropping by this area and visiting this yarn shop - there are so many quirky stores nearby... Whenever I come, I can't resist getting at least something! With the left over balls, I knit Lotta from Rowan's Big it Up.
