Do you call it a cast on when you are still swatching? Well, I have swatched for the Cobblestone pullover by Jared Flood (who has a beautiful blog btw) from Interweave Knits. I will work but I am not hitting exact gauge. I am substituting the recommended yarn for Rowan Felted Tweed.
This project makes me nervous. Not because of the technical skills involved, but because it is my first full-size manly sweater knitted for my darling. I did try to start a thicker Vogue sweater a while ago with a lovely textural pattern. Kristofer squeezed the swatch and dismissed it as too thick. What will he think of this one? I want the sweater for him to be perfect!
So… I took a deep breath and decided that it will be okay. No matter how it turns out . It will not be the last sweater I knit for him. It will more likely be the first one we make silly jokes about.
