Thanks for posting this article. I’m definitely frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and intelligent commentary on this subject. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.

Thanks for sharing all your thoughts on Linen Drape! Really helpful. Best of luck with your design. Hope you find the right yarn for it.

I also add my voice to the wash your swatch chorus…sometimes that makes for an amazing change. I’m in the Linen Drape along as well, but am actually (gasp) using a pattern that CALLS for that particular fiber. I swatched a few knitting stitch patterns in the Linen Drape and thought ewwwwwwww, until I tried the stitch pattern in Vintage Knits….oh, MUCH better. After washing? I love it enough to invest the time.
Having said all of that, YES, it shows great growth to put the knitting down and step back and re-evaluate. YAY!
It was SO great to meet you in person at MSWF! I’m just LOVING what I got from Tess…howzabout you?

Like you said, better to know now that you are not happy with the yarn than to have it almost done and frog it.

Good for you Jody. Washing the swatch might be a good idea though. Hmm…these knitting decisions. Did you place an order with Tess yet?

Have you washed your swatch? Linen softens considerably after washing.

Bummer – well, at least you DO have that pattern planned & you could just use the LD with a Rowan pattern, assuming they match up well! I haven’t started yet since I have a side project that needs to be done in a week & a half, so it’s pushed everything else aside for the moment!
I found the beads I’m going to use (I actually had three kinds that would have worked…oh, the stash horror…)
