This is Rona. It's my favourite pattern in the magazine.
It is crocheted in Felted Tweed and I think it looks really stunning. I would have to think carefully about colour choices.This is Stockport.
I like the shaping and it's quite different to my usual knits. It is knitted in Cocoon. I think I'd like to knit it in a nice rich jewel colour.
This is Wentworth.
It is knitted in Kidsilk Haze so I would definitely have to think about substituting another yarn. I love the multi colours and it would be great for using up odds and ends. It reminds me of a pattern in an earlier Rowan magazine, I'll have to check it out.Finally this is Lochalsh.
Knitted in two colours of Felted Tweed, I think I would be tempted to incorporate more colours and get rid of the pompoms! 
Lots of lovely knitting in your blog!! I googled "Anyone crocheting Rowan's Rona?" and you came up in the results. I've almost done enough squares for one of the front panels, I stuck to their colour scheme and will probably re-do some of the squares as they're getting better and better with the practice! I want to do the hat in book 46 for my sister's 50th birthday presi and agree with your other choices. I love going through the new autumn/winter Rowan book each year with an interested other- sighing at the lovely ones and laughing at the ridiculous. lol Jak
