It’s not knit in blue,
brilliant pink, white or pale green:
Not hydrangea.
Remember, I said Rowan has decided to show more wholesome stuff?
This rather ordinary tank top would normally not rate a haiku. After all, it’s just a tank top knit in a nearly - but not quite - monochromatic color scheme; there’s a matching sweater with little intarsia blobs (maybe pyramids? Who can tell?)
It’s the sort of thing that lots of people can fit in their wardrobe.
But why does Rowan call it hydrangea? Yeah, I know, if you look, you can find dull-purplish or bright magenta hydrangeas– after all, the color of the flowers do change with the ph of the soil. Still, these colors just don’t make me think “hydrangea”! (The top Rowan called “Periwinkle’ is dark beige; “Lupine” is brown and white. Go figure.)
Oh well, I guess the “Secret” is the key word in Rowan’s “Secret Garden Collection”.

I dunno, I think it needs some bobbles, maybe some intarsia hydrangeas, some fun fur…..maybe a little fur stitch around the bottom

I’m in the process of doing some massive ring maintenance for the FiberArts Bloggers ring and I am contacting you because there’s a problem with your code. The code you have up is actually alright, except that the ring’s home page on the urbanspinner site is long gone. The new home page is:
http://unioncenterknits.typepad.com/fiber_arts_bloggers/
You’re welcome to either switch out just that one part of the code, or ask me for the basic default ring code instead.
Please feel free to contact me with any related questions/concerns. Once you have your code fixed up, if you want to send me a note I’d appreciate it, so I can check it out. Thanks!
Joni

Rowan have some weird names for their colours. It seems to be a modern advertising trend to use a word for its sound, not its meaning. They have a pink yarn called ‘Smirk’. A smirk is a rather nasty facial expression, not a colour. Who decides these silly names?

I make up my own color names. My husband’s office is “Lavender Prose” (not quite florid enough for purple) and “Lemon Tentacle.” Our living room is “Apri-cotta” and the bedroom is “Too Many Green Apples.” At work there’s “Maudlin Mauve,” “Acid Kangaroo” and “Olive Accident.” (Thankfully, not all in the same room.)

*snort* I’ve totally given up on Rowan.
