Swatch it!

I knit up my two swatches for the Gypsy Shell by C2knits,
one in Berroco Bonsai and
one in Kollage Temptation.

I was able to get a (circular) gauge with each of them. The Bonsai was drapier, so I'm going with that. I think I'd also like the Temptation on a bigger needle, it was pretty dense for the gauge on this project.
I also knit a swatch in Bingo for the Top Down Sweater class I'm going to teach in September at Westport Yarns. The class will allow the students to customize their sweater to fit perfectly and choose whatever weight yarn they'd like. It's going to be a lot of fun.

Now that my swatching is done, I can get down to some serious knitting! Hooray for that!
