I also thought the colours were rather cold, so I used "DB Cashmerino DK" in navy and gold, and used far less - five balls in navy and one-and-a-half in gold. (I haven't checked the length of "Rowan Handknit Cotton" in comparison with my choice, but five versus eight seems a significant difference).
I've also been working on some socks - "Fortissima -Sombrero" - but it's been heavy going. However, I think I had just 'gone off' the yarn, because I'm actually really pleased with the way the sock is takin place.
That doesn't mean I'll get it finished today. :-) I'm going to play with some crochet, I think.

Lovely yarn for your sock. :)

I love your blanket. I bet it's lovely and soft....bump will be very happy to snuggle up in that, I think! :-)
