Hello from Yorkshire, Welcome to the March edition of your


online newsletter. Here


at Green Lane Mill it feels like spring has sprung, and we are really pleased and excited with the positive reaction our new Knitting & Crochet Magazine 51 has received.


So, now March has arrived, we start to turn our attention to the exciting events and plans we have coming up throughout spring here at Rowan - don’t miss news of our brand new Design Competition on page 8.


Sarah Hatton tells us about her visit to Vogue Knitting Live earlier this year on page 6, and we also catch up with Rowan designer Julia Frank, and meet a member with an incredible talent for putting her own unique take


on Rowan designs.


We hope you enjoy your new issue – and we look forward to receiving lots of inspirational competition entries! The Rowan Team
