Furrowed brow
I have started another project from Rowan book 40, called Furrow. I liked the Dotty slipover so much that I thought Furrow would also be nice to knit, being made of Tapestry, Kid classic, and Wool-cotton. I thought the pattern was nice stripey rows made interesting by the self colouring wool patterns and some purl stitching giving additional texture. Turns out, it is some mad pattern involving slipping blocks of stitches on alternate pairs of rows, and stranding the yarn across the back of the work. The effect is quite pleasing but does not seem to warrant all the complexity.
