The Rowan Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long – Week 6

On Friday Rowan Yarns has published the sixth clue for the Pure Wool Worsted Knit-A-Long with Martin Storey. The UK will have a bank holiday on Monday. Hope you have fine weather and a fab day, all in the UK. This weeks pattern is called Little Doughnuts.

Week 6 – Little Doughnuts

Look for the spanish translation Viovioletta has done here. This time Martin suggested shades Almond and Apple for these 6 squares.

Rowan Pure Wool Worsted – Almond 103

Rowan Pure Wool Worsted – Apple 129

And there is also a YouTube video with Martin giving you more information about this week’s square design.

Remember to check out these washing and blocking instructions from Rowan:

Hi All, as your pile of Pure Wool Worsted squares are building up, here are some tips to ensure they’re ready for making up:
We recommend an initial wash of each square, for blocking into shape. This will also remove excess dye.
Remove excess water by rolling in a towel, and pin into shape (20cm x 20cm).
Dry the squares flat and in the shade. When the squares dry, they should all be an even shape, ready for making up.
This process is called blocking, and will mean the squares are a consistent shape for making up, and won’t run or bleed into the other shades when machine washing in the future.
Any further issues, please contact mail@knitrowan.com.

This week I’m a bit late posting my squares, because I have started to knit Estefan a design by Brandon Mably from the Rowan Knitting & Crocheting Magazine 55.

Here is a picture of my progress. It is knitted using Rowan Cotton Glacé and using the intarsia technique. Fun!
