Rowan 38
My Rowan 38 came this week. There are a few things I like in it, but I think the chances of me making them are quite slim. I decided to tot up how much it would cost to buy the yarn for each item I liked, here lies the reason that I probably won't be making any of them.
Jumper on left would cost £51.50
cardi £55.00 & jumper £56.00
without pink the thing £31.50
scarf £42.75
£49.50
£27.50
Am I the only one who thinks that they're a little expensive?
Have you noticed I've changed my template? I was getting bored of the pink. If anyone knows where I can get free backgrounds and stuff, let me know?

Thanks for the Rowan information, Paula. Yes, they do seem expensive. I am not as crazy about some of these designs as ones I have seen in the past. They are still nice, though.
I like the new template a lot. This one is simple and elegant.
Have a good weekend~
They are a bit expensive. I usually wait till I find a deal on eBay or elsewhere, or simply substitute.
I agree with you - Rowan prices do seem a little on the high side at the moment - everything seems to have gone up in price just recently - at least in our local store.
Sorry I can't help with the backgrounds thing - hopefully someone will be able to.
I tend to find most of the things I want to knit a bit pricey. It bugs me to know that I could buy two sweaters for the price it takes to knit just one. Isn't knitting supposed to be cheaper than buying?
I much prefer your new look! It's easier to read. Sorry I can't help much with the background problem.
This is why I always wait for the sales to buy Rowan yarn in bulk! I can't afford to spend £50 on yarn for a sweater - only to realise that I don't like the design or the way it fits after all.
