a swatch, a swatch
Yes, my 2nd ever swatch. I’ve decided that swatching may be a good thing, I’ve been tempting the fates for a bit too long, I’ve only ever done one other swatch and that was only because I didn’t have a pattern for the sweater I was knitting at that time.
So, in honor of my newly turned swatch leaf, I’m posting a swatch of none other than the Berroco Ultra Silk I found on my door step yesterday. My stitch gauge is right on, but the row gauge is a row off, but since the pattern follows measurements for the rows instead of a row count, it should be all good.
With no further ado:
DH and I are going away for the weekend, and there are 2 yarn shops fairly close to the hotel. DH, being the wonderful man that he is, and having a proper respect for my knitting/fiber addiction, has decided that he’s going to take me on a mini shopping spree to the LYS. I’ll post my new stash enhancements when we get back.
That yarn knits up beautifully! Dang, I want to fondle the swatch too! Have a wonderful weekend, happy anniversary, and happy yarn gluttoning. Again, your hubby rocks.

Hope you are enjoying your anniversary getaway/yarn binge. I think people who get married on April 15 have their priorities in the right place! (I got married the day after my husband’s birthday, also a good way to be sure he always remembers!) Can’t wait to see the new acquisitions!
