Rowan Spring/Summer Collection

Knitwear pattern collections seldom have many designs for men.   Three or so garment offerings is typical, and this season's Rowan Magazine is no exception.  Of the handful of items for men, this open fabric design stands out.  This photograph from the Rowan homepage has truncated the lower half of the model.  The piece features overly long sleeves and a very long torso.  I generally must add to the length of a sweater, but this one seems a bit too long, even for my tall frame.  The same is true for sleeves.  I almost always lengthen the arm before launching into the sleeve cap shaping, but here, the long sleeves are sure to get dragged through the salsa.  After a few minor alterations, it's certainly a garment that's on my list.
