The Rowan International free gift arrived last friday. I still have the unmade kits from previous years lying around so what was it that made me cast on almost immediately? Kid Silk Haze one of my desert island yarns!!
I looked at the pattern, memorised the 4 rows, looked at the gauge, calculated how many rows and then set off merrily knitting. I completed the last of the rows this morning as I got off the bus, came into work and laid it out for measuring - only to find that my row gauge is way off. Normally I have to do less rows, this time I have to do another 30 rows to get the length indicated. I've double checked my needle gauge and it is correct - what on earth am I playing at!
Guess what colour I chose?
Have you seen the latest on AS*'s site re Harris?

Regards Linda
Even before it crawled down the modem I had no doubt which it would be! Great choice, look forward to seeing it.
