Oh, Yeah, How Did That Thing Turn Out?
I finished the experimental zebra swatch I started a while ago. Here is the finished knitted swatch, with our little Vanna White for scale:
And after felting:
It came out a little smaller and shorter than I had anticipated, but overall I'm happy with the results. It needs some blocking to fix the rippling, but first I need to decide what to do with it. I could probably fold it in half for a nice little change purse type dealie. If I had the patience to knit about ten more of them (well, and if I had enough yarn, which I probably don't) it would make a really cool scarf. Right now it's serving as a coaster on my bedside table.
Today I bought some nice baby Cashmerino to make the argyle vest from Debbie Bliss' Special Knits for Babies as a gift for my cousin's new baby boy. I'm going to do it in a nice sage green with white and yellow argyle, to match the colors they chose for the nursery.
