Oh Shannnon- that sounds embarrassing....

Thanks for the advice too Shannon, Wardy and Chocolatecatty. Although trying to actually track down a brand name was a little futile for me in the end.

I was really starting to get desperate when I finally managed to track down possibly the last packet of terry flats in Canberra - in Target of all places.

I'm exaggerating slightly - but after tromping from one end of the city centre to the other trying at Myer, DJ's, Big W and everywhere else I could think of I was so amazed to find nowhere but Target sells terry flats in the middle of Canberra. We got the last packet on the shelf. Also bought a dozen cottonfleece as well. Not even the baby stores sell flat nappies anymore!

Now I just need to get sorted for covers. Shannon- I'd still love that knitting pattern when you get round to it.
