I have swatched both the linen stitch and the stockinette stitch twice already for my Socks that Rock pattern of the month. I'm getting a little irritated because I just want to start them already!!!! But, at least, since the yarn is so awesome, I am getting joy out of the colors and texture. I bought some size 1's today hoping that at least one of the stitches will gauge up correctly on those because after that I will have to order if I want to get smaller needles. Luckily there is a great online source (overseas) that has less expensive Addi's and fast shipping. So, if you are looking for teeny needles and want them quickly, go see Astrid.
A promise for a photo of the head scarf later. DH is finally home long enough to take one for me!

But, it's just not fair. I am so over this swatch! I have decided to just go with it as it is because I don't really think going to the 0's is going to make that much of a difference. And I would knit tighter but wow what a transition it is already to the 1's which I have never used before. I typically do my socks on 2's or 3's no matter what they call for.
I'm wondering now why the ball winder flew off when I don't have a bevled edge....hmmmm....if you have a picture, email it to me cause I am having a hard time picturing it exactly. Do you have to weight the wood down or is it heavy enough on its own? I have to go buy some wood to make raised beds in the garden anyway so I am thinking I'll just grab a 1 x 6 when I am there. Enough thinking out loud for one post.
