From Rowan's website, "Rowan Purelife was introduced in 2007, its aim was to produce yarns that are formed in an ethical and environmental way. Its ethos being to produce yarns which help keep nature pure and life good for the farmers who make a living from the earth."

Renew is the newest yarn in the Purelife family.  Patterns will be found in the new Purelife Autumn magazine.

I am working on one of these kits and you can follow the progress on my blog. 

Many people have mentioned that they thought these shawls and jackets are too hard to knit.  This isn't the case

1. You are fair isle knitting (carrying the colours as you work) using only two colours in a row.
2. You are working in the round so every row is knit.
3. When you are done you are going to cut your work.  This is called Steeking.  I know that this scares knitters but it is easy to do.

Large Poppy Shawl

When I have my shawl knit and am ready to cut I will be holding an open house in the store.  You can come and watch me cut!!
