Swatching. Not swatching is to dance with danger. Unless I am very, very sure about what I am doing......like making yet another pair of Raggi socks....I swatch. There is enough heartache in life without creating more on one's own.
Why I am I thinking about swatching? I was going to make Jared Flood's beautiful Umaro pattern for a wedding gift. It is beautiful. I had a lot of yarn and did not have to buy it. It was in Stash Mountain. I swatched. I swatched again. I swatched....and swatched more. I wanted to through the swatch right out the @#@$% door. The poor swatch looked like the dog's dinner. As I did not want to change yarns, I have changed the pattern.
This swatching saved me from hours of wasted work. The yarn looks lovely in the Deco Columns pattern and I am very, very happy.....
