She made an itsy bitsy teeny weeny...

...little fair isle swatch.

My oh my, it's so lumpy bumpy. I am out of colorwork practice! Actually it looked a little better after a bath, but still rather grim.

I didn't have any patience for swatching this because I am so antsy to get going on the mittens. Not to mention mittens are so small anyway, it hardly seemed worth it. But it was, since I was getting getting about 10st/"... 1.5 more than I hoped. Damn. I guess that explains the tubular cast on debacle as well.

The good news is this morning on the train I achieved gauge on my 2.75mm's! Huzzah. Tonight: Tubular cast on, the return!
