Hi.

Welcome to my website. I design knitwear and crochet patterns, as well as create knit and crochet based tutorials!

Swatching

I don't swatch often, but when knitting a sweater, I suppose swatching is more important.  And after a few mistakes, you learn that swatching really *is* as important as they say.  As much as you don't want to admit it.  So, here's my swatch for the sweater I'm starting tonight.
Yarn:  Everlasting DK (by Dream in Color) in the Colorway:  Congo

I used 4 different needle sizes:  US6, US7, square needle sizes 6 and 7.  After washing (yeah, I know!  I even washed it!) I discovered that US6 standard was the needle that got me gauge.  Now, all I have to say is... my gauge swatch better not lie to me later on!!  ;o)
