Now give the whole thing a good blast from your spice weasel. Bam!

Here's a biggish bowl I knit on Sunday night. One strand of Sean Sheep Armytage, colour 'Ruby Twist' and one strand varying between purple, brown, and that blue. I already was not really feeling the love as I knit this. Then it entered my head that overall this is kind of a maroon-and-blue colour scheme, which reminds me of Catholic primary school uniforms here in Canberra. So, you know, yay. Yet, I hold out some hope for the felting to work some magic.

Last night I was about to try again with Armytage, but going through the stash for the previous one I had pulled out everything green, just on a whim. Mmmm, greeny.

One or two green yarns are missing from this picture.

This time as soon as I started knitting I was loving the combination. I even knocked it up a notch with a couple of rounds of that weird furry stuff, which is a (probably discontinued) Lincraft yarn called Merry-go-round - essentially it's Cookie Monster with added glitter. 97% wool, would you believe?

Edited next day after helpful comments and a good sleep:
Oops, I was picturing Oscar the grouch, when I typed Cookie Monster. We are talking about green, after all.

Even though my felting stash is not at all small (with particular thanks to Taph and Spidey) I don't think there is any other colour that is hanging about in the stash in such bountiful variety. I really like having a good colour range. Conclusion? Keep stashing!
