This week saw both H and I laid low by the same virulent little lurgy that kept Amy off from school last week and as a consequence I feel as weak as a kitten today. Luckily for me I have lots of balls of wool to play with and cheer me up.
So I am sitting here stock-taking my stash and wistfully re-packing my precious but dwindling reserves of Rowan 4 ply cotton.
1. bloom, 2. cheeky, 3. boudoir, 4. orchid, 5. angel, 6. allure, 7. tutti frutti, 8. mandarine, 9. honeydew, 10. zest, 11. fresh, 12. cooking apple, 13. fennel, 14. monsoon, 15. sage, 16. ripple, 17. tear, 18. baby, 19. bluebell, 20. violet, 21. nightsky, 22. navy, 23. steel blue, 24. cobalt, 25. agean, 26. shale, 27. ardour, 28. aubergine, 29. violetta, 30. flirty, 31. provence, 32. bleached, 33. cream, 34. opaque
Luckily I've been able to track a little more of it down recently, thanks to some very nice people over on Ravelry, but in a few colours I'm down to my last precious ball and there are a few colours that I have never had the pleasure of getting my needles into!
It's such a shame that Rowan discontinued this lovely yarn. Hopefully one day they'll see the light and re-release it because in my opinion nothing comes close to it's pretty colours and soft handle and it is perfect for bunny clothing.
Talking of which, I'm off to cast on a little dress and knit myself better. Happy weekending all x

PS: just to let you know, I've turned on a new comments thingy that lets me reply, which I will endeavour to do when time and Toby allow. So if you ask me a question, check back the next day and hopefully you'll see my answer.
