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).

How much of a hurry are you in, and are you planning on coming to ChicagoTARDIS? Because it's a bit tempting to simply bring the remainder of the box with me to the con and let you take what you want then, saving us both shipping and letting you play with the colors without monitor shift.

...That it would give me some grin and giggle $$ right when I'd want it doesn't hurt either.

But if you're in a hurry to get it on needles, I can start counting.

Yes to ChicagoTARDIS (gotta get registered, thanks for reminding me); No, not really in a hurry to get the knitting started, plus it would give me a bit more time to save up the $$$.... Here's an idea, though: I send you the $$$ for one skein each of the Navy, Denim, Toast, Sage Green & Mango (five skeins @ $7 each plus postage) -- that way I can decide if they're what I want, and if not you're free to de-stash the rest instead of waiting until November. What say you?
