A swatch

swatch

I've had an idea for a sweater bouncing around in my head for months now. When I first got excited about this potential design idea, I knit a swatch. I've had this swatch kicking around for months, and now I've finally started putting it to good use. I've measured, I've re-measured, I've calculated and tweaked some numbers, and now my sweater is finally in progress. I knit the swatch in TFA Yellow Label DK weight yarn in the Stormy colourway, but the actual sweater is being knit in a new for fall colourway that is still a secret. This sweater concept actually inspired the colourway, more on all that soon.

  1. I really love your designs (and yarn) and can't wait to see.
    Hope you and your hubby are getting some much needed "do nothing" time - especially if it is as hot where you are as it is here in the states.

  6. Everytime I see the Stormy colourway, I just want more of it in my stash! I can't wait to see the new design but after seeing that gorgeous cable action in your swatch, I can already tell that it'll be added immediately to the queue!
