This swatch was a mixed bag of frustration and joy. I think basically though I picked the wrong one to do. Looking at the diagram it’s made for a jumper but I thought because of that that it would be perfect for a natural of expansion out in the hip area without increasing stitches.
Meet swatch 3: Expanding Leaves
I had to with this swatch modify it slightly to stop the leaves puckering which is what happened when I originally did the swatch. Yep I had to pull it back and start again, frustrating as hell but once started it HAD to be done!
I am pretty pleased with how it turned out considering. I will try this again at some point, because I do like the leaf design itself but like I say it was the wrong choice of pattern. I’ll find a different diagram to try, one that doesn’t expand and see how that works out!
You win some, you,loose some afterall. There’s no such thing as a mistake - you just learn and try something different next time.
See you soon!
