Swatch-wash: Round 4
Round 4 results for swatching/washing of Valley Yarns 2/8 Merino Wool/Cashmere Blend, swatched double stranded in moss stitch:
Needle Size US#5
After 1st washing: 20st/4in, 27rows/3in
That's it! The elusive 20st/4in is finally reached after 4 swatches and multiple washings. Oh yes, there were more washings between the Round 3 posting and this one, but I didn't bother you with the results since they weren't on target.
The #5 swatch has been washed again, only to increase the softness.
At some point, I'll cast-on the Threepenny Pullover and get started on the real sweater. Jeez, it seems like I've been stuck in the swatch-wash cycle forever.

Woo hoo! Gauge! That's great, Janice. How many grown-up sweaters will this make for you this year? At least 4, right? At this rate, your closets will be full of fabulous knits!

Let's see... the VK Cable Cardigan will be 4, so this one will be 5. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if this project went into 2005. It's not going to be a fast one.

That's a lot of swatching - I'm glad it turned out well in the end! Good luck with the pullover!!
