I started the Ribbed Lace Pullover tonight. The pattern sizes are all really big, so I'm making the smallest size. I have to figure out some waist shaping, because the pattern is just straight on the sides, and that never looks good.
I also made a swatch! I never make a real swatch, I always just knit 10 stitches and half an inch worth of rows and then measure. This time I made a real swatch of the cable part of the pattern, and then actually washed it! I'm proud of myself.
Swatch before washing.
The swatch after washing. It definitely flattened out a bit. I also didn't cross the cables right on the left side. I'm glad I did that, it will make me pay more attention to the actual sweater.
I like this yarn, it's really soft. I think it will be a lovely sweater.
Your swatch looks great even if you forgot to cross the cable on the right side.
I'm such a wimp, i don't dare do a cable pattern, i just can't get my head or my hands round the idea! hehe
That pattern looks fun to knit. I love the colour you've chosen.
