Simple design around the edge? &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>I am also not sure if I should use the 4 base colors or if I should pick up the 4 colors used in the pattern details. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Another option might be stripes of some sort….</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385293 Thu, 01 May 2025 10:22:57 +0000 Brooklyn 2385293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385291 Thu, 01 May 2025 08:29:29 +0000 Star (Lise) 2385291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it is incredible.&nbsp; A work of art.&nbsp; Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385274 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 17:59:22 +0000 Val MN 2385274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, and extremely warm I’d guess!</p> <p>You mentioned hat ideas. Maybe a fair isle hat using the same four colors of yarn? Or a solid color hat using just one of the four? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385273 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 17:15:53 +0000 cat2 2385273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385270 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 15:06:29 +0000 Carol 2385270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, just astounding! I am not sure I could ever learn to do that.

I bet it’s also available on the Rowan website.</p> <p>The scarf is Martin Storey Snowflower KAL. &nbsp;I registered for the knit-along on the Rowan website and signed up for Rowan Connect. &nbsp;The pattern is free on Rowan Connect. &nbsp;It includes instructional videos and recordings of the live meetups with Martin Storey. &nbsp;Even though I registered to complete the KAL in real time, I did not keep up….. &nbsp;I’m sure you can still access this now. &nbsp;After you join Rowan Connect which is free, there are several patterns available and they include the instructional videos, annd meets ups, etc. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The sweater coat pattern you like is lovely. &nbsp;I have knit two Martin Storey sweaters. &nbsp;They were knit bottom up in pieces and then sewn together, which is apparently his favored way to design them. Rowan has some great knitwear designers past and present. &nbsp;My past fave was Kim Hargreaves. &nbsp;In a fantasy life I see myself knitting every one of her patterns. &nbsp;They are modern classics and in keeping with my style. Kaffe Fassett is another favorite. Although I have never tried one of his patterns, I love looking at them as each is a work of art. &nbsp;His masterful use of color reminds me of my daughter’s artistic skills/talent/gift.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>@Everyone else, I appreciate the complements. &nbsp;I am truly proud of this knit. &nbsp;It was a lot of work and I am very happy with the results. &nbsp;:-)</p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385260 Wed, 30 Apr 2025 11:03:12 +0000 Staysfit 2385260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Ket, the owl pillow pattern is from a book called Rowan at home, published in 2018. &nbsp;I found it on Ravelry where it can be downloaded. &nbsp;It’s called Oswald Owl by Martin Storey. &nbsp;I bet it’s also on the Rowan website. &nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>The scarf pattern is called the Snowflower KAL. &nbsp;It’s a free pattern on Rowan Connect. &nbsp;You may need to sign up but I don’t think there was was a fee. &nbsp;I made both with Rowan felted tweed yarn. </p> <p>@Everyone else, thanks so much! &nbsp;I appreciate the complements and am particularly proud of this knit. &nbsp;:-)</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-knit-a-bit-late-for-winter#post-2385195 Tue, 29 Apr 2025 02:17:44 +0000 Bijou 2385195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - your scarf is amazing, and I also love the owl cushion.

Fellow knitter here! It's divine!!! Your color work is very evenly knit, and your use of color and contrast is beautiful. You did a fab job! I really enjoy Martin Storey's designs. He has been with Rowan for so long and his sense of style has never wavered. I have his Classic Heartland pattern book (published by Rowan) and really want to knit the Gweneth cardigan/coatigan. (Picture below.)<div><br /></div><div>Love the pillow, too!! Do you mind sharing the link/name for the pattern you used?</div><div><br /></div><div>Hi, sweet Brava! Is she an apricot colored poodle?
