Well, I washed the swatch.
I was in the process of determining gauge (It was hard to see the stitches clearly after it had been washed), when I heard from my LYS – the color I wanted in that yarn was discontinued. However, there was only a brief moment of disappointment. I liked the yarn I’d chosen, but I didn’t love it. So it’s ok. And I’m back to the drawing board, in search of the yarn to make my first sweater – yarn that I love. I have an idea or two. I’ll keep you posted.
Also, I finally finished my yarn from Ravelympics – that’s coming up next!
it’s so hard coming up with the right combination of yarn and pattern. i know you’ll get it though and it’ll be worth it!
