fluffy beginning

I got up the nerve and swatched.

fluffy swatch, blurry pattern book and fuzzy pink doughnut

And the gauge was Spot On. I love it when that happens.

The yarn is actually nice to work with. Light and fluffy, it’s like kniting with clouds. And it pulls out of the middle of the pillow-ball so your knitting with a fuzzy pink doughnut. Whch is kind of fun. And Exotic. I may have a problem though. Take a look at my swatch. Should it be this…lumpy? I guess so since the yarn is all slubby with fuzz. The picture of the sweater in the book looks more smooth and tight than my knitting does. I’ll turn on my comments in case anyone has some insight into this phenomenon.
