Jane Slicer-Smith
Jane, born in the UK and living in Australia, is
known for her great cardigans, capes and jackets.
Her designs use Merino Sei (double knitting) or
Merino Otto (aran) that are 100% wool that does not
pill!! My best friend Bev has a jacket knit in Otto
that has travelled the
world and it looks freshly knit.
Jane is now expanding her pattern range with this
amazing throw. It combines Merino Otto with
Trendsetter Dune, Marrakech and Checkmate. I am
knitting the throw and hope to have it finished in time
for the Knitter's Frolic (April 22 in Toronto).

There is great news-the price of most Rowan yarns
has been reduced. This doesn't show up on our
website yet but we are charging the lower price on
orders.
The spring Rowan will not disappoint you. There are
designs for all knitting tastes and abilities.
Magazine 39 contains three beautifully photographed
stories plus interesting articles - read about
Lucinda Guy and the inspiration for her wonderful
children's books, learn how to embellish and
customize Rowan's ever popular Denim yarn or be
inspired by our Fashion Revival spread where we use
Kid Silk Haze to create beautiful designs with a
vintage feel.
There are many designs in the new magazine calling
my name-Carolina in Kid Silk Haze, Lizzi in All
Seasons Cotton and Glad in Kid Silk Haze.
Two mini-magazines were also published. A Midas

| Knitting Bags |

Amazing new knitting bags have arrived from Jordana
Paige. Definitely not your grandmother's knitting
bag! The picture is for the Knitter's Satchel which
is available in ocean blue, cappuccino and grape.
Another great bag called the Messenger Bag is also
in stock.

| Debbie Bliss Pure Silk |
|
The new Debbie Bliss yarn for spring is 100% silk
that knits on 4mm needles. There are 12 designs in
the new magazine.
The classic but contemporary styles are worked in
stitches such as cables, lace and ribs, where the
sheen of the silk enhances the simplest of stitch
details and gives glamour and sophistication.
The elegant, timeless pieces include essential
sleeveless tops and vintage style beaded designs.
