Next!
My next project for Sweaters 2013 is another cardigan! (Actually, I think they're all cardigans, but I can't remember.) I'll be using some handspun yarn that I spun ages ago. It's been sitting in the stash, just waiting for me to find the perfect project for it and I think I've found it. The pattern is Bluebelle and I think it will be perfect for this yarn. I haven't found a button for it yet, but I won't need it until the end. This is another bottom up cardigan, but the sleeves are picked up and knit down from the armscyes so I won't be doing the sleeves first. There's no seaming up at the end, so finishing shouldn't take long. I've already knit a swatch, and it's the right gauge for the pattern, but I have no idea what needles I used. I'm hoping I blogged the swatch and the needles, otherwise I'll be knitting another swatch before I start this project!
I'm off to go dig around in the depths of the blog to try and find the swatch information. (If I was nice and organized, I would have pinned a note to the swatch with needle size information, but no, that didn't happen.) OK, that was easier than I thought - I used US 4's. Now I don't have to re-swatch. Onward!

Beautiful color! I'll be eagerly anticipating the finished sweater - I'm sure it will be gorgeous!
I tie knots in the yarn of my swatch to indicate the needle size. 3 knots is a size 3 needle. I find that very helpful.
When do we get to see the sewing machine all together with a before and after comparison?
