More on the Rowan Tweed (mostly)

[neadods]

It is the practice of our vet to send a condolence card after a euthanasia; DB's arrived today. I don't know if they were making an educated guess or if they dug through the records they'd inherited from his second owner's vet (back when he was named "Howard," to which he did not respond. But he'd come running if I called "DB! Deebers!")

They had a birth year for him, which made him 17. That's a good innings for a cat.


Anyway, this is supposed to be a post about yarn. I've dug up the Rowan box and found the colors online:

Page 1 colors:
- hedgerow
- navy
- denim
- toast
- reed
- rush

Page 2 colors:
- powder
- sweet pea
- mango
- oats


I haven't counted balls-per-color yet (remember all of these have already been wound into center-pull balls and corralled in yarn bras. This is ready-to-knit immediately.) If/as people express interest, I'll find out how much of each color I've got. All colors coordinate; that was sort of the point.

Two of the skeins have been knitted into squares already; they could be carefully pulled out and reballed, though. (Another two - one of the oat ones and one of the mango ones - are squares that will become bunnies for faireraven's Bunny.)

Let me know if you're interested. We're talking a 70% silk, 30% cotton washable yarn (with almost 0 give to it).

*hugs to you and your family* How are the other kitties handling DB passing on?


Put me down for yarn if you need more people.

They don't seem to miss him, but it's hard to tell.

I'll get to you about the yarn. Looks like a lot will go begging.
