nore swatches (finally!)I finished 2 more swatches for the to-be-designed Aran sweater last night:
and 
Sorry the quality is so terrible on that second pic- that's what I get for trying to take a pic this morning with the flash. I think I should also stick to light backgrounds... makes the contrast easier to adjust. The second swatch is so short because I realized fairly quickly that I didn't like the second pattern- twisted/travelling rope... and so I saw no need to continue through all 32 pattern repeats... especially since the Tight Braid Cable, which I DO like, is only 4 rows long. I think I'll have 6 more swatches (most with more than one pattern) before I can start designing... and I still need to run the swatches through the laundry to see how much they shrink! I'm also almost done with the second bluebell sock- I'll probably finish this week. But I think I'll definitely go back and redo the cuff on the FIRST bluebell sock- give it more ribbing- depending on how I like the second cuff. :) The good news is that since these are such short socks, I'll probably have enough yarn leftover to make another pair... or at least a kid-sized pair. Not that I know any little kids to make socks for... I leave you on this Wednesday with more proof that Cricket does deserve the epithet "the supermodel":
