I have been thinking about knitting with Rowan Denim for quite awhile. Maybe too much Mason-Dixon
? Maybe the upcoming Smurf
movie? I don't really know for sure. I have been thinking about an Aran sweater for the Boy. I have been thinking an awful lot about Jared Flood's Urban Aran Cardigan. And all this thinking has lead me to dream of how cool that cardi would look in the Denim on my Boy. So I've been reading a bit about the Denim on ravelry and Mason-Dixon which in turn lead me to an amazing looking adaptation of a man's sweater into a boy's sweater using the Denim. Now I am thinking, "I can actually do this."

Now I am thinking, "I can actually do this."So in my fully deluded state, I hunted down the pattern and ordered it from a shop in western New York. And then, knowing I can't get the Denim locally, I started looking for a good deal online. This search ultimately yielded (the most reasonably priced) fruit on eBay. This weekend I was compelled to place a (winning) bid on 10 skeins of the Denim in Nashville. And, seeing as how I was the sole bidder, I won! I won! I won! The price was good, the shipping was free, and it is on its way to me now from the U.K.
It is on! Toddler Urban Aran Cardigan here we come!

I wish I had known you wanted the pattern, cause I have it upstairs from years ago, and would have gladly shared. I can't wait to see how this comes along. :D
