Lettuce, yeah it's fuzzy, i didn't take the picture. It's also greener and prettier than that...
Lettuce will be the lace leaf pullover, and the Truffle will be a raglan turtleneck of my own design.
here's the truffle, which is really more of a warm dark chocolate, plus the other two colors I really want now: Jaffa (which is a bit more orange in person) and smirk, which is a bit more pink. I think they took these pictures on a cloudy day, but hey, they're from England, I hear real sun is a rare commodity :P
haven't gotten to swatch them yet, and I may try to avoid that as my Rogue is still in it's baby-phase and I want to work more on that. The best idea I think is to find it a good hiding place

I got a ton of Rowan Polar too, at my LYS for over 50% off! I have 6 balls of Lettuce for the lace leaf pullover too, and I have 10 balls of Silver Lining to make Glampyre's Bulky Cabled Cardigan. I found your site from hers, actually. Thanks for the Polar Porno :)
I didn't check gauge yet, but I do tend to like a more loose knit fabric. I know that I was getting 12 stitches over 4 inches on 11's with the polar, and that the fabric seemed normal- not loose and not tight.
I know that the rowan polar can work for the lace leaf pullover, though, because I saw the knitalong on Craftster.org and a lot of people used Rowan Polar it seemed. I was going to give you a link to it, but their server is down right now. You can search for it on www.craftster.org to see some examples once their site is back up and running.
Drat. I foolishly followed your link to the cheap Rowan yarns on ebay. That was dumb. I instantly fell in love with at least four lots of wool. :)
