Craft Post - Swatchy Squares

[kerravonsen]

I bought this yarn on Friday, and I though I would kill two birds with one stone with it: I would make swatches of stitches I hadn't tried out before, and I would use those swatches as bases for scrumbles for my Amazing Housecoat (which doubtless will take years and years to finish).

And here are what I have done so far:


Swatch: HDC rib stitch; Patons Cosmos grey yarn, Acrylic/Wool/Lurex.


Swatch: Mesh stitch; Patons Cosmos grey yarn, Acrylic/Wool/Lurex.


Swatch: Griddle stitch and Crumpled Griddle stitch; Patons Cosmos grey yarn, Acrylic/Wool/Lurex.


Swatch: Staggered Diagonal Basketweave stitch; Patons Cosmos grey yarn, Acrylic/Wool/Lurex.

I have decided that I like this yarn a lot. Of course, it turns out that it's discontinued, which is why it was on sale... oh well I'll go back to Lincraft next week and see if they have any left (I only bought two balls).

What a pity about the wool, it's quite lovely (and I know the feeling of 'I like it so of course they've stopped making it!!')

The thing I like about it is that the glittery part is more subtle than I expected. Usually when they do glittery yarn, it is all through the yarn, very in-your-face. Whereas this one, it just has little sections of glitter that come and go. I think that's nice.
