Swatch with Kit

I purchased my yarn through KnitPicks (yay!), though it hasn't arrived...or processed yet (boo!). In the hopes that the yarn will arrive soon, I decided to go ahead and swatch for the sweater. I still have a couple balls of Wool of the Andes from a previous project (even a ball in Avocado!), so I swatched out with the Avocado because it's the main color in my sweater. (The only reason I'm not starting yet is that I needed to buy a pair of size 7 / 24inch circulars.)

The colors for the project are:

Wool of the Andes in:

-Avocado
-Carrot
-Pumpkin
-Fern
-Spruce
-Mulled wine

It's a lot of stripes, I know. But I love all of these colors. Hopefully they'll go together decently well! The best part of the Wool of the Andes? $1.99/ball!!! Cheap and soft. I love it!

On to the swatching:

Take one ball of lovely Avocado Wool of the Andes.


Take one Kit cat.

Knit vigorously (though not too vigorously...otherwise Kit grabs at the yarn)

And

Ta Da!!!

Swatch! Now I just need my KnitPicks package to arrive!

Cheers.
