A Lovely Day
The weather has been mild for early November, so it’s a perfect time to make a day of it and head outside. Enjoy the last bits of autumn, do things outdoors and get together with friends. Have yourself a lovely day!
When I first saw Rowan Tweed Haze yarn, new this season,
I couldn’t wait to start a new project with it. I’m into pullover ponchos, ponchettes, wraps and big cowls these days and this yarn lends itself to something you can throw over your shoulders and just live in! It’s a blend of mohair/alpaca/cotton and poly as soft as my kitty, Rosie. It’s lofty and has a soft halo. It drapes easily over the shoulders and is light enough to scrunch up to wear under a jacket. I hope you enjoy the pattern. Have fun!

A big thank you to Barbara, Andrea and Elizabeth for modeling.
