Take a Hike
In honor of the Trek Along With Me which starts today, I stole a needle from the Padded Footlet and made a swatch. Hooray! Color is 105 and I plan on making a Chevron-type sock as shown in Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. (What a cool book! Highly recommend it.) I will also be trying the "Forethought Heel". Rock on.
In other thoughts....why didn't I think of knitting a lace shawl over the winter months? I totally want one, and how perfect would that be going from 80+ degrees outside to the freezing AC inside? Must knit a season ahead. Duh.

Once again, great colors! What is this freezing a/c you speak of? Ours is barely keeping me from melting into the couch....but a shawl sounds like a nice idea for early fall too.
The gradual color change is very pretty.
love this color!! kind of like a girl blushing... your swtach is so official- I have to try to be more serious about swatching.
Loverly swatch. I am always a season behind.
That sock book is amazing; I love mine! I am so impressed you did a swatch for a sock - you are my hero. I must be years behind....
Beautiful color!
Great color!
NIce swatch! Wow! The colour change is so beautiful and gradual.
Looks like that Trekking color made it on my wish list. Thanks (I think).
Your not the only one who now wants a shawl...in the wrong season. LOL
Lovely color!
I have a seasonal problem with knitting, too. It's a tough balance. I just made a winter hat. Which means, it'll be ready when winter comes. But I can't use it now! I'm not sure whether to knit summer stuff now when I can wear it right away, or to stockpile for the winter....
The colour is so pretty, I love how it blends so beautifully from one to the other.
