This is a SW yarn, so I washed it with a regular load of laundry, and also put it in the dryer on low. After blocking, the swatch size grew in the width and shrunk in height! Now I can start working out my grading spreadsheet for the pattern

I'm ahead because I've already finished April's pair in the Secret-Stash-Busting Sock Along. The yarn is Sweatheart by Jokamamo Textiles with plain pink toes/heels/cuffs.
Going to start another pair.

My swatch for the new sweater project has been made. Onwards to washing this gorgeous RMR Yarn Co. Zihuatanejo DK yarn!
#StashdiveSaturday The gorgeous yellow yarn that RMR Yarn Co. send me, really reminds me of the yellow of canary birds. In Dutch, they're called "kanarie", hence the working title for this sweater project. I really can't describe how rich and bright this color is, in the sun it positively glows!

#StashDiveSaturday I've balled up the yarn from RMR Yarn Co. to knit my swatch. For shawl projects I usually don't swatch, but to get a garment that fits, with a pattern based on my numbers, I really can't get around it

#StashDiveSaturday You may recall that I posted last month that Yax from RMR Yarn Co. asked me if I would also like to design a sweater using their yarn. Well folks, I've received the yarn, and it's absolutely gorgeous. I really can't describe how rich and bright this color is!
