EDITOR’S LETTER
It is with great pleasure that I introduce the turning page version of Magazine 52. The turning page really does bring the magazine to life. The next best thing to having the magazine actually in your hands. Once you have viewed all these beautiful designs why not go that step further and become a Rowan subscriber to the magazine and have it delivered direct to your door as a special treat to yourself. After all we all need something to look forward to as the summer comes to a close.
This season I hope we have given you all the traditional themes and techniques you have come to expect from Rowan. The wonderfully colourful and playful fairisle, the Scottish plaid stepped in history, the cable that travels with elegant ease up the fabric of the jumper and the modern colour blocking that makes intarsia a joy to work.
The designs in Magazine 52 have been created by the Rowan inhouse team and our stable of freelances. This season we are also introducing new talent and faces to the Rowan family with Ruth Green, Jem Weston and showcasing a stylish yet modern design from Josh Bennett.
So whether its a two colour fairisle, an intarsia colour block sweater or a rhythmical cable design you choose to knit, I hope you enjoy the journey from casting on to casting off.
