The Wonder Woman sweater KAL was meeting early at Knit Night for an official Cast-on. In preparation, I knitted and washed a swatch that I found to be just right for the sweater. I was lucky to have hit the jackpot on my first try (US size 7!) The yarn is Cascade Hollywood, which as one would imagine, is sparkly!
A sparkly swatch!
I thought we were all swatching before the Official Cast-on, but I was the only one who did, so I got to jump right into the math of knitting. This pattern is written for a grown-up, but I’m knitting mine for the Wee Girl, so I have some adjusting to do. However, the pattern uses this yarn doubled, and at my gauge with a single strand, it looks like I can follow the directions/charts for a women’s size S. Fingers crossed that it’ll be simple!
3 swatches going on!
So far so good! I’m super tired so I’ll try to get in a few more rows tonight; hopefully i’ll have some progress to show you tomorrow!
ohhhh! Looking good!
It was a good start– had to frog it, but it wasn’t that much…
Ah, how annoying! But better close to the start than later!
I agree! That’s why I’m so happy that this pattern starts with the sleeve– it’s like a biggish gauge swatch!
