Not so brave
I finished my swatch! I ended up going to a size 4, since my yarn choice is a bit smaller then the Plassard. Hey, bigger needles = faster knitting!
Swatch
Isn't that just a lovely heathered green?
Anyway, I am foolhardy enough to swatch and different brand needles and to not swatch in the round. However, I'm HAPPY I washed and blocked it. The yarn expanded just a too much bit on my first swatch. I'm happy I had to go down to the four. The fabric was just not dense enough for my liking on the size 5.
Now if my damn Bryspun circs would conme in...

That is a lovely color, Sherry, and I also like your contrast color.
I like a "dense fabric" too & that is what I'm getting.

Well, it's still the same NUMBER of stitches, even if the needles are bigger, but the psychological advantage is not to be scoffed at!
