Swatching

...for Sahara. I'm quite close to gauge with size four needles (as the larger set), so I'm going to pretend I have gauge, at risk of messing things up. ;) (I'm used to things being just a tiny bit not the right size anyway...) I switched to CottonTots yarn, too, instead of generic worsted-weight washcloth type yarn, which may have helped a smidge, or maybe I was just being a freak before and couldn't knit to gauge. So okay. Now to cast on and start the SKC knitalong. :D

I gave in...

...and bought Sahara. I've been looking at it for a while, and got rather excited by it when I noticed there was a sleeveless version, never mind that Brian didn't find it very exciting. He may be metro, but he doesn't always have the best mind's eye for clothing combinations and clothing on figures, even mine, which you'd think ... well, never mind. ;)

And the Sexy Knitters Club KAL for Sahara starts tomorrow. Not that I'm going to be ready by tomorrow, but at least I know I'm participating slightly before the thing actually starts. ;)
