I should have done this two weeks ago...

What's this? If you knit, you probably know where this is going... yup. A gauge swatch for Adam's sweater. So, now I am back at zero progress - actually not true. I have two patches completed. (woohoo!) Now I need to finish my swatch, wash and measure... cause, darnnit! -- I want it to fit!

Now, why did I not do one before hand??? The age-old excuse... I've used Rowan Summer Tweed many times before and just wanted to start on Jarret right away without wasting time and yarn to swatch... am I that lazy? well, I vow never to be again now that I've started drawing out designs for future knits!

I saw that you said you began and finished a bunch of projects in the last few weeks - I was once told by a pro-knitter that a sign of a real knitter is having 4-5 projects going on at one time. I have never been able to do that - good for you!
