Proper Swatches

We just had a long holiday weekend, and I had a little extra time on my hands.  I started thinking of new projects and that led to swatching.

I couldn't pick just one yarn, so I tried two.  It's always informative to check out the options.

The swatches aren't finished, but I think I know which base I'll use.  Sometimes it's tempting to measure gauge while the swatch is still on the needles, but it's best to have proper finished swatches.  I'm going to be diligent. I'll wash and block them before I settle on one.

After that, I'll pick a color . . . so many decisions.
