Rowan 45 arrived over a week ago and I have been slowly absorbing its contents. When I looked at the preview photos, I was not really taken with anything, and yet I ordered it anyway. Rowan, along with Vogue Knitting, are most buys for me and I am happy to have a collection of them. I find that I come back to these patterns over and again and even when something doesn't speak to me immediately, I always end up making several things from each issue.
I suspect this issue will be one that grows slowly on my affections and worms its way into my wardrobe little bits and pieces at a time. It is not that the sweaters aren't lovely. There are some that are classically beautiful and some that I just adore, but not perhaps for me.
At the moment only one is speaking to me of near-term knitting. Loumarin captures my fancy and the mood of my wardrobe of late and it may well be added to my spring list, whenever I start that spring list.
The spring patterns are coming out and are all very tempting. But it snowed yet again today and I haven't seen the actual ground for over six weeks.
I am not yet ready to start dreaming of spring knitting. There looks to be a good bit of winter left. I think I need to knit something warm and cozy before I start thinking about lightweight little summer knitting fluff.

We need to average out our weather. It has been 80F for weeks on end. I am ready for rain.
OTOH, the global scale waves have a half wavelength of ~3000 miles (at our latitude). If your coast is cold, my coast is warm and vice versa.
