Good Knitters Make Swatches

I am still plugging away on my little scarf. It is becoming prettier as it gets longer and I love it. Meanwhile, I was really bad and bought some new thread yarn (tharn) to play with. This time I am swatching.

And so it begins!

A journey of a thousand FOs must begin with a single stitch.

First we moved, which was oh so necessary and wonderful. Who doesn't like a fresh start? Then there was the little problem of misplaced needles. Just a wee problem, no? Thankfully my dear sweet one found them and below is the progress!

So far I like the lace. Unfortunately, I am not a huge fan of the cotton. I was hoping it would smooth out and show detail but it's just not what I envisioned. Maybe a different needle size would help (next time).

More pictures to come as it gets longer. :)
