Did I see from your picasa shots that you dyed this another colour …
It looks like it worked a dream….
I can’t find your notes …

[...] you remember that I said in Sunny, Yellow and Happy that I wanted a straight forward rewarding project to cheer me [...]

Hi Claudia
I made mine in the 34″ (second) size. It measures 29cm to the armholes. Although it has ridden up a bit with wear and I’ve just measured it as 28cms!

The pattern is given for 32″ to 40″ chest. The measurements to the armhole are give as 28(29:29:30:30) cms

I used 7.5 skeins out of the 8 given – very accurate yarn amounts for a change!!

I hope that helps. S end me a picture when you’re done
Susan

Hi. I’m thinking about knitting Lavender myself – and would appreciate a quick dimension – if you don’t mind. I would like to know the length from the cast on edge to the start of the armhole shaping. I’m not too keen on crop tops and want to know if I need an extra skein to make it a better length. I want my top to be at least 12 inchest before the armhole shaping. I hope my question makes sense! Thanks. Claudia

Hehe thanks Susan! Feel free to nick my ideas! It’s probably a result of doing a course I hate, it gives me something to love and obsess over!!
Any news from Rowan on your Glade??

I love the colour of your Summer Tweed – just the thing to raise your spirits.

That yarn is really nice to wear especially in Summer.

One of my all time favourite yarns – much maligned by other Rowanettes! Just remember that if it starts to droop when wearing a short blast of tumble drying works wonders!

Who me? No… never! :p
I had a feel of the summer tweed, I didn’t realise it had silk in it.. it feels kind of weird, but I did actually fancy it (But as you know, I’m not buying any more for a coupleof months!). Your top looks ace! xx
