Tailored Scallops


I set myself weekly knitting goals so that I can manage my ongoing knitting projects. One of my usual goals is to "Knit a swatch from a yarn you love" which usually satisfies my need to start new projects.

However, the swatch I knit last week has mysteriously grown into a sleeve for Tailored Scallops....

I'm using Elann's Uros Aran yarn in Oxblood, a lovely dark wine color. It's 50/50 wool and llama so it should be very warm despite the lacy feather and fan pattern!

That looks nice! I have some of that yarn.

I was swatching for the Essential Tank and my cat got hold of it and half of it is off the needles...so I'm starting over soon.

So cool to know someone else uses the same new yarn 'technique' I do. I get to immediately swatch new yarn..and like you my swatches sometimes grow into actual items..naughty swatches.
