First published in 1986 and collected by avid knitters ever since, the Rowan Knitting Magazine has become Rowan’s signature. The over-sized format, inspiring photography by some of the world’s best at the time, the quality paper—all shaped this exclusive volume. Produced twice each year, it’s still eagerly anticipated by knitters and collectors around the world. Old issues are sought after, often at very high prices.
Rowan Magazine Issue 75 takes you on a knitting journey from the historic Sheffield Botanic Gardens in Yorkshire to a sun-drenched vineyard in the south of France.
Over 40 designs from your favourite Rowan designers using a wide range of spring summer yarns. Rowan begins in Yorkshire with their Botanic Garden story. Summer silhouettes and lightweight layers are key to this collection, including tops, sweaters, cardigans and shawls. Taking inspiration from botanical gardens – from the plants to the glass structures – our designers have created fabrics using texture, lace, colour work and embroidery in a palette of greens, neutrals and pops of bright florals.
Slip Into Summer is a story of modern summer knits which celebrate the slip stitch technique. Even in their simplest form, slip stitches can create unique multicolour patterns and here designers Lisa Richardson, Martin Storey and Georgia Farrell explore the endless possibilities resulting in a beautiful collection of garments and accessories using Summerlite 4ply and Creative Linen.
Featuring designers Martin Storey, ARNE & CARLOS, Quail Studio, Lisa Richardson, Kaffe Fassett, Erika Knight, Georgia Farrell, Vibe Ulrik, Chloe Thurlow, Annika Andrea Wolke, Brandon Mably.
Includes 40+ designs to make.
