This is probably going to get me flamed, but have you people SEEN the new Rowan? [link]
I know this has been going around blogland lately, but I am somewhat convinced that the regular designers at the London HQ have surrendered their jobs of creating tasteful, interesting garments to a band of drunk monkeys.
Drunk FEMALE monkeys, who are pissed at their men because I can't imagine a gentleman in the world who would dress like this:
This piece says, "Real Men wear a 1/2 a pink tee over a manly sweater"
This guy is just so pissed off at his headwear that he is attempting to hang himself with his girlfriends trendy cuff belt.
Finally, I don't know about you, but if I am goint to commit a somewhat-significant part of my life to knitting an item, it sure as hell isn't going to involve a slug motif.
The End.

You see slug, I see mer-cat.
Either way though, eww.
Wait, you missed the one with the enormous headdress - that one had me gaping. What the?!
I totally agree! How many hats can one model wear? It still won't distract me from the ugly sweater/top/cape!
Yuck! Is that what they think knitters want? *shudder*
hey girl,
Greetings from Victoria, British Columbia. I confess to have been lurking on your blog for some time, but as I was looking for the Irish Hiking legwarmer pattern I saw a picture of you & a bottle of Shiner and knew I had to say hello. Am halfway through my second IH wristwarmer and it's my favourite knitting project so far--thanks for that. I enjoy your blog a great deal.
LOL - Mer-cat... I love it! Glad you all agree with me. I may have to revisit this topic next week.
Fanny - glad you said hello! Go Shiner Bock!
OMG, I usually have an unhealthy obsession with the Rowan magazines, but this is one I will definitely leave on the shelf, at the yarn shop. Ew.
ha! very funny. if there are actual people out there for whom the rowan catalog represents native dress, well, bless them. but i hope there aren't. to me this issue conjurs up images of a bunch of english women trying to think of any idea for the issue: how about "ethnic"? i adore "ethnic"! back when my husband was stationed in hindustan people were always wearing all sorts of "ethnic" things. and the scotsmen! they are "ethnic" too! [clap clap from the other ladies] then one meek lady pipes up: can we put in a seahorse? just one?
Hilarious! And, I think the last chick in this picture (bluish knit tank) is really a guy.
