A swatching of different stitches on this type of yarn. I really like the top stitching, but it acquires more yarn and takes up less space. I have a limited amount of yarn, so I think i'll stick with stockinette & cables, while doing some lacing around the neck and hem.
Remember my "throw of many novelties?" Well, the little froggy said "rip it! rip it!" and I did. Yeah. It wasn't up to my specifications. The two different yarns with a little chinelle(sp?)didn't agree with size 11 needles. Oh well, i'll use it for other things. Maybe i'll get some different novelty yarn and start it up again.
how many yards do you have of the yarn?
ReplyDelete200g of the cotton (the shaping that I plan on doing requires less yarn than a crew-neck type of tank) and 50g of the alpaca.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem like a lot... but when you think about it, My long and sleeved sweater only took 300g of yarn or less.
ReplyDeleteI love the stitch pattern on the top of your swatch!
ReplyDeleteI was told grams don't count & neither do ounces
ReplyDeleteit's all based on yards =/
Well ok... then just under 400 yards.
