SotS Swatch StretchedETA: my swatch is featured on this week’s What’s On Your Needles Wednesday on The Daily Chum! whoop! And Miss V has dubbed me “Sassy.” I’m saaaassy. ;)

So the Secret of the Stole swatch chart was released today and I’ve already swatched it. I know it’s only a small sample of the pattern, and I’m pretty sure it’s correct, but does it look ok? Hard to know, considering I don’t have a finished version to compare it to. But I’ve stared at it in comparison with the chart several times, and I’m pretty sure I did it right!

I’m using JaggerSpun Zephyr, which is so lovely to work with. What’s not lovely is the icky yellowish lighting in my room, evidenced by the greenish tone of the yarn in this photo, which is actually blue in real life.

And this took me an hour and a half to knit. It’s a swatch and it took me an HOUR and a HALF to knit. Am I the slowest knitter ever, or what?!

  1. I’m pretty sure *I* am the slowest knitter ever, so don’t fear! :) I think it looks pretty cool!

  2. Your swatch looks fantastic!!!

  3. kc: you’re faster than me by default–it’s that continental vs. throwing thing. :D Thanks! :)

    Nautical Knitter: hooray! Thanks :)

  4. I’m such a joiner! Thanks to your post and swatch I went ahead and joined the SotS KAL. I also felt I missed out on the MS3 KAL. I will time how long it takes me to knit my swatch. I’ll bet it will take me longer than you - I’m super slow. Although I’m trying to stop calling myself slow - I’m steady….. BTW, your swatch looks awesome! :smile:

  5. yay! I’m glad you joined. :) Thanks about the swatch!
