Gettin' Swatchy

I know many of you are wondering what my beautiful skeins of Madelintosh Pashmina turned in to.


Although you have to wait a couple more days for the reveal of my new pattern, I can show you my funny looking swatch:

Yup, the honest truth- I am a lazy knitter.  When I am trying out multiple stitch patterns I often just throw them onto one long swtch instead of casting on and binding off multiple times.  Plus, after I frog and wash the swatch I can re-use the yarn.

Many of you guessed that the skeins above were the Baltic colorway. It is actually the Cousteau, which is a newer Madelinetosh colorway.  Stay tuned later this week to see the pattern that will debut with Knit Culture at Vogue Knitting Live!
