starting butterfly!
i swatched for butterfly today, since i got my knitpicks needles in the mail.
my gauge is a little bit off (and, yes, i realize that i did a craptastically small swatch.), but i think that blocking a bigger piece will let me end up being even closer to gauge.
in other not-so-great news, i really, really need to get another ball of yarn. hopefully, the yarn store i got this one at will have some more in the same dye lot. if not, i might end up going with a different color.
in other news...
green gable is blocked! however, the neck is a teensy bit on the floppy side, so i wet it again, hoping that it would shrink up a bit. i went a little crazy getting the lace part to open up. i'll take another picture (and post my thoughts on the pattern) once it looks more the way i like it. i'm also hoping to take a picture when the sun is out.
