I've been a bad blogger, but I've been reading a lot and knitting too! I have nearly finished my Wicked sweater and will post a picture when it's done. True to form, I started something new before completely finishing my last project!
This is what I swatched today - Jude from Debbie Bliss's book Summer Essentials. Here's my swatch:
Looks good huh? I am using Debbie Bliss Cotton Cashmere resurrected from this failed project. I've gotten the 24 stitches over 4 inches to match the gauge in the pattern but 30 rows are only about 3.5 inches . I've used a size 5 needle and really don't want to go smaller and mess up my sts/inch gauge. The pattern is for a cropped sweater and I have more yarn than is necessary so the plan is to make it a little longer. I'll have to do that for sure now otherwise it might be really short! As long as it fits around my body I'll be happy. Any suggestions?
Hey Mara! How's it going? Is wedding planning on your mind? Let's get together soon!
