Rowan Scottish Tweed Chunky in 'Lobster' (017)
What a red! I don't foresee myself becoming sick of having this wool between my fingers any time soon. Not that I have an excessive amount of time to work with it... but no matter.
It's freezing. Literally. Stay warm this weekend (Wool is recommended).
Gorgeous red...I think that is my favourite shade. Not to worry, I'll be knitting up a storm this weekend when I'm not out holiday shopping.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I went to the Gap to buy an ordinary wool sweater. They don't have wool sweaters! They have cotton with a bit of wool or cashmere mixed in. In Boston, where currently the wind chill is four degrees F.!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of being a tease, you don't even wanna share what it is you're knitting with your amazing red tweed? C'mon, throw us a bone, here...it's FRIDAY!
ReplyDeleteJust delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt is chilly even farther south (NC) and I am planning on getting out the stash blanket - how else to stay warm while knitting?
Ooh, red tweedy yarn.... I'm currently awaiting red bamboo yarn from the same source. I can't wait to get my greedy little hands on it, even if it implies frantic knitting!
ReplyDeleteits gorgeous! and a nice weight too.
ReplyDeletestay warm!
The wood looks like a small teak table I have. The red is very very nice.
ReplyDeleteThose Rowan Scottish yarns come in the most wonderful range of colours. I want to do something chunky in the blues and greens, but your red looks pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteThat is about the nicest red I have ever seen - I cannot wait to see what you make with THAT!
ReplyDeleteHow could you not love a yarn called "Lobster"? (I love that Lobster Pot Yarns has a colorway called "Drawn Butter". The very name starts the mouth a-watering.)
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that you are going to do something utterly splendid with that red, red yarn.
Now that red tweediness is truly wooly nice. And you're forgetting about your Australian readers..it's high summer here.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm still knitting with wool
(New commenter here.) I see in the comments for your photo that you have a design in the next SnB. How great! It always amuses me when I read through books/magazines that are compilations, and see the writer/designer's name or blog URL and think, "Heeeeey...I 'know' that person!"
ReplyDeleteRighteous red. Well, if you're knittin' under a deadline, at least you've got Rowan tweed to keep you company!
ReplyDeletei feel your pain! although the design part is fun, the deadline it comes with - not so much!
ReplyDeleteThat color is great - I'd like to knit anything with it. :) I can't wait to see what you're making.
ReplyDeleteWe even needed wool here in Florida today - it was cold!
oh. that red. so gorgeous! can't wait to see what you're doing with it!
ReplyDeleteI just got some yarn in the mail yesterday Rowan Cashsoft (yum) for what sounds like the same deadline...luckily my design is quite small!
ReplyDeleteI am utterly in love with that red! I can't wait to see what you're doing with it!
BTW - I'm delurking.

Wow - I need that red in my stash. I have other reds to keep it company and everything. Can't wait to see the end product. Lydia
ReplyDeleteYummy, yummy. Can't wait to see what you're Designing for your Deadline. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bee-yoo-tiful red! It's lovely. Have fun with the yarn, and good luck meeting your Deadline!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the D thing, but what a great color to be stranded with! We even need some wool in the deep south!
ReplyDeleteyou have impecable taste in yarn.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't tweedy red yarn so beautiful.....It doesn't have to be anything other than yarn for us to enjoy its glory. Good luck with your deadline!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous red, and just right for winter. Cannot wait to what your making too.
ReplyDeleteThis. is. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have great taste in yarns and design.
Rowan should hire you to promote this yarn! On websites where it is for sale, it looks nowhere near this lovely. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteTweedy and red - two favorites. The depth of that red is just incredible!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! So, what is in the works?
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at either the yarn you work with, or your work, my addiction starts to act up. Good thing there are no yarn stores open this time of night. I'm taking a break from my own deadline, to wish you good designing. But don't be like me and OK (over knit). Take time to massage and rest your hands.
ReplyDeleteI was just perusing the knitting blogs and found you. Your work is immaculate, and I'll be de-lurking and stopping by to adore more often!
