Following on from yesterday’s post about Aran Knitting being reprinted, and more evidence of how having a baby means I appear to have been living under a rock for the past six months, today I have made a further Starmore-related discovery.
As I said before, I don’t buy many knitting magazines and none of the UK ones, and around September last year I really wasn’t interested in them, anyway. 
So I missed issue 10 of The Knitter:
Had I not been living under the rock, I’d have known that it contained one of the Starmore patterns I really want to knit, Elizabeth I from Tudor Roses. That issue of magazine is OOP now, but is available as a digital download so within ten minutes of my discovery, I had the pattern in my hot little hands. (Would have been even quicker if the site took Maestro cards; it’s not as if I’m trying to pay with magic beans, people!)
Now once I’ve chosen the yarn colour, I just need to lose the ginormoboobs so that I can actually fit into it. 
oh hai, i’ve been living under an adjacent rock! *waves*
that’s a lovely jumper indeed. A little casual for a Tudor monarch I would have thought, but hey, everyone should wander along beaches in handknitwear.
That is a gorgeous sweater. You are just a fountain of information these days!
