texture, beauty and colour. Mohair is the important fibre of the season, as well
as loose hand spun type roving yarns which add a home made feel. Inspiration for

homely, cosy and hand made looks. Rowan is promoting three stories for Autumn

delightfully styled to inspire the knitter and introduces garments which are
both beautiful and very wearable. This season sees the launch of an exciting new

Rowan Knitting & Crochet Magazine 41
This season we take you on a
voyage of discovery that captures the romantic and nostalgic sides of the
British summertime, in Secret Garden and Promenade, and adds a hint of Moroccan
spice with the designs and location in Medinas and Minarets as we travel through
the Soukhs and bazaars looking for inspiration. This season we have used
different photographers for each of our stories to bring you three very
different looks to explore. In Recreation Lisa Richardson and Rachel Henderson
show us how to rejuvenate jumpers that have been languishing at the back of your
wardrobe or turn that high street bargain into a one-off look. In Lazy Days
Marie Wallin and Sarah Hatton have created homeware pieces such as a garden
table runner and tea light holders that will add a highlight to outdoor living.
Finally we revisit a very popular technique, short row shaping, essential to
create the asymmetric and flared looks in designs such as the beautiful skirt,
Wisteria.
