Swatch it, Swatch it Good!

Everyone, put your hands in the air, and swatch swatch like you just don't care!

Still basking in the glow of finishing Huxley (and your wonderful comments, thanks so much, I love it as much as you all seem to!), I started serious planning tonight on the next sweater.

You may remember me getting yarn from Maple Bank Farm for Christmas this year. It's time has come. It was a tough choice on what sweater I'd start next, but really I just couldn't get this yarn out of my mind. It sits out in a nice pile... Mr. Stegs stood on it before he got his spikes... it's been calling to me! How could I resist?

I've had an idea for this yarn since I first saw it. I talked it over with fellow Knitsmith May and she had some suggestions. Anyone that knows May knows that you should listen to her suggestions and her advice is ALWAYS valid. I swatched my first idea, and then went on with hers... she wins!

I may cast on during Knitsmiths on Sunday! Anyone in town for Boston Closing Ceremonies, I can't make it, but Knitsmiths will welcome you if you are in need of an afterparty!
