Rhaar Scarf Kits Now Available!



We're pleased to announce the availability of Karen's latest knitting kit - the Rhaar Scarf!

"The Rhaar Scarf has it''s own little story. The design came about as my daughters other half wanted a chunky scarf for Christmas. I thought that Rowan Big Wool would be the ideal yarn to use. However, having several colours to choose from (and my daughter being a Personal Stylist) I thought it best to consult over the best colour for ''The Man in Her Life''.
The only way I could think of to describe the gold/yellow colour that I planned to use was that it was the colour of a lion, and as we were in a noisy shop at the time and she could not hear me say 'lion' I ended up clawing the air and doing an impression of a roaring lion, much to the amusement of the other customers in the shop! Hence The Rhaar Scarf!"

The Rhaar Scarf can be purchased as a finished item, but we had lots of requests for kits so that those able to could knit it for themselves. So we have the Rhaar Scarf Kit! Contained in it's own bag this Chunky Scarf Knitting Kit makes a thoughtful gift for a knitter. The finished item would be a fabulous accessory for your own wardrobe or you could always make it as a gift for one of your favourite people! The kit contains everything you need to knit the scarf, from the yarn, to the needles, to the pattern, and you can get your own here!

Rowan Shrug





This lovely shrug was whipped up by Karen in Rowan Alpaca Chunky for Emily when she pleaded 'ack! I can't find anything to go with this dress!' Knitting skills to the rescue once again! 

You can find the pattern in the wonderful Rowan Winter Warmers pattern book and is called the Crystal Bolero. It's a delightfully warm and cosy shrug and looks just as at home with jeans and a tee shirt as it does with a fancy frock. The ribbon detailing on the back just makes it extra special.

(And yes, it did go with the dress, and went on an outing to a family wedding!)
