And seeing it's a bloggiversary, there has to be a contest, no? I was at a bit of a loss as to what to use as a contest question, especially as I had a big contest only a few weeks ago, but a comment left by Helen of the amazing scarves and jigsaws (look in the sidebar for the jigsaws) gave me an idea.
If you're a regular reader, you know I have a weakness for Rowan Kid Classic.

I first came across a ball of this in a mixed bag I found in a charity shop, and have been a devotee ever since.

There have been a LOT of good sales recently, like the 50% off one at Jenners, the 50% off one at John Lewis....

And 30% off at the soon-to-be-deeply-missed HandKnits.

So, easy contest, not requiring the intense mental input of the Glass Spinning Wheel Contest. How many balls of Kid Classic do I currently own, and in how many different colours? Remember, I hoover up odd balls when I see them at a good discount, because I like stripes and colour blocks. It's not just in sweater sized quantities.
Prize(s)? Well, not sure yet. It may be sock yarn, or if I have something suitable that I know you'd like there may be larger quantities involved. There will be a fibre option for spinners if you prefer. We'll see! (But it won't be Kid Classic, lol.)
Just leave me a comment giving me your best guess. Contest will close on Friday midnight GMT. Have fun!

If the prize isn't Kid Classic, I'm not going to enter :( No, seriously, 47 balls in 10 colours.
Happy Bloggiversary! I won a gorgeous rpoze in your last competition, so I'm not going to enter this time. I bet it is a case of "dozens" and "lots", though.

My guess is 11 colours and 38 balls, but however many I very am envious! I recently knitted the little scarf that was a Rowan members gift in Kidsilk from some time back, its wonderful and I'll definitely be making more.
