green gable: beginnings
well, it's more like a lilac gable. i got the yarn last night and just had to cast on.
and here are my (three!) swatches, with the most recent on the top. i had some gauge dyslexia last night, so i cast on with size 9s instead of the recommended 7s or 8s (or something smaller). (the yarn says it gets 4.5 stitches per inch on 7s or 8s, and i wanted to get 5 stitches per inch.) then, i went up to size 13s and did a swatch. when i finished swatch #2, i realized that i was a moron, so i did the third and final swatch on size 6s and got gauge. yay!
finally, here is the oh-so-impressive progress that was made last night.
