Carrara

Knit this ladies open, draping front jacket, the member’s exclusive free pattern for March 2015. Designed by Lisa Richardson using the exquisite yarn Silkystones (silk and linen), this garter stitch jacket has an eye catching ladder stitch panel down the centre of the back.
You can download the free pattern on Rowan's website... 

Rowan Silkystones is a melange of toussah silk and linen, and each shade is a soft subtle blend of shades. Soft to the touch and with the light silken sheen of wet stones (hence the name) this yarn sits at the heart of our Spring Summer season.

What a beautiful day today. It was the first time in a very long time that I went out of the house without my winter coat. Just a heavy knit sweater.  It was very liberating :)

I'm hoping it is sunny again tomorrow so that I can get some pictures of today's knitting.

We made it through two more episodes of House of Cards tonight. We had to turn the TV off or we would watch all night. I can't say too much in case you haven't watched it but we each have our own theories on where it is going.

Yikes- it's hard to imagine who that sweater jacket would flatter - even on the model it just looks bulky and way too much.
