The Final Swatch



That's it. The FLAKesque swatch blocked and scanned. I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just need to finish up the other 50 projects before I tackle it... well, let's say 2 projects?

I worked a repeat on the Cropped Cardy Redux yesterday. For an easy little cardy, it sure is taking me a long time to finish!

Oh, and I tried on the Spring Forward after the sleeve blocking and I'm fine. My sleeves might be smidgeon short, but they're top down, so I can add length if I need it (it's hard to tell without neck ribbing). I'm just thrilled that the sleeves blocked open a bit.

So I'm going to concentrate on the Cropped Cardy today. Maybe I can get all the increases done!

Happy Knitting!!

Glad to hear the sleeves are going to work! And the swatch looks great-- I forget, will it be a cardigan or a pullover?

I think I'm going to do a v neck cardigan. Can't have too many cardigans

I'm so glad the Spring Forward Sleeves worked out! It's going to be beautiful! I got a ball of TLC Cotton Plus to swatch for the Spring Forward ;-). Love the cables you chose for the FLAK. Take care, Tori

That swatch is beautiful. You were missed today but it was truly a madhouse. Funny how deep discounts on yarn drive people to extremes.

Tori: thanks about the FLAK! I have to say that I really like the TLC Cotton Plus. It's a nice combination of cotton and acrylic. Makes the cables easier to work than just cotton and yet it doesn't have that plastic acrylic feel! Hope your swatch works out!

Nicole: well, I'm not sorry I missed the madhouse (which is one of the reasons I reconsidered going... plus I really really don't "need" anything). Can't wait to see what you got :D

Love your swatch and enjoyed checking out your other projects.

Thanks for setting up the knitting ring so we can look at each other's blogs. This is so much fun!
