WELCOME EST 1978 Cover Image | Owre by Vibe Ulrik from Magazine 65 Hello and welcome to the Spr ing Summer 2019 Newsletter! As we write this, there is a real feeling that summer is just around the corner! Blue skies and warmer days (slightly!) signify that pleasing transition of the seasons, heading towards summertime, enjoying the outdoors and embracing our summer wardrobes! Rowan Magazine 65 is packed with delectable summer knits and our new yarn Denim Revive will create that perfect garment for a day out at the beach! See our round up of the season on pages 6 to 23 to make sure you don’t miss a thing! CONTACT US This season sees the Rowan Anniversary celebrations drawing to a close and so we caught up with The Knitter’s Attic in Suffolk whose Rowan Anniversary Fashion Show was one of the last events in the UK Anniversary calendar. We have thoroughly enjoyed the global celebrations and we hope you have too! On the subject of anniversaries, there is another one to celebrate – this year marks ten years of our partnership with Bedecked haberdashery whose wonderful buttons adorn our Rowan garments. Rosee Woodland chats to owner Judith Lewis on page 44. In other news, we hear from Sue Maton of ‘The Mercerie’ who tells us all about her fantastic crochet course ‘Homage to the (Granny) Square’, Katherine Lymer shares her thoughts and insights into the ‘Reflections’ story of Magazine 65 and we catch up with two yarn stores, Crafty Angel and Woolwinders. We also hear from Debbie Abrahams about her latest mystery project! In our last issue, we introduced you to our collaboration with ‘Knitting For All’ and I am delighted to say that founder Kerry Kimber will be sharing stories from her team in a regular newsletter column. In this issue we hear a truly inspiring story from a tutor working with Deafblind Scotland. Last but not least, we wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who voted in the British Craft Awards this year. We are delighted and honored to have won ‘Best British Brand’ and ‘Product of The Year’. Thank you so much! These awards really do mean a lot as they are voted for by you the knitters – thank you. As always, we hope you enjoy this newsletter! We would love to hear your feedback on the new collections and so do please visit our pages on Facebook and Twitter to leave your comments.
