Swatching Mama
Today I spent swatching the BWA and am really considering returning the yarn. Except for the two hanks I have swatched, washed, swatched, washed ad nauseum. I am so not enjoying working with it. And Hello the BWA is the 3rd yarn I have used for St Brigid swatches and its impossible. 20 sts instead of required 21 sts and 32 rows instead of the 27 rows called for. On all the swatches I have too many rows and not enough sts per inch. Is there a 'oopsie we screwed up' on this book out? I know people complain about the difficulty in getting Starmore gauge but I haven't had problems before. Mind you I have done FI not texture designed by her so that may be the big issue..... *sigh* back to swatching.
yarny days and knitterly evenings.
