Fiber Arts Friday: Swatching

I've had and idea for a project in my head for quite some time.  It requires hand-spun yarn, which I finished spinning last summer.


I had been pretty convinced I would use the linen stitch, but I wanted this project to be simple and reversible.  So a review of my stitch catalogs and a few swatches later, I think I have a plan.


Happy Fiber Arts Friday!

    Plans are great (as well as the handspun). Just beware of all the details in execution. :)

    Will look forward to seeing the progress.
