Tunisian Honeycomb Sweater – Gauge Swatch DONE!
Yesterday I started playing around with the pattern for the Tunisian Honeycomb Sweater. Since I was using worsted weight yarn, instead of sport weight as the pattern specifies, I made several attempts to get the gauge swatch correct. I had originally thought that I would need a larger sized hook, but size I (5.5 mm) as written in the pattern worked like a charm. Here is the final result……
I am so thrilled with the honeycomb stitch pattern. It is easy to master and it creates such a beautiful, textured fabric. This sweater is going to be amazing…..I am thinking about making two now – that is if I have enough yarn. Isn’t destashing a wonderful feeling?!? I bought this yarn probably 10 years ago while on vacation in Orlando, Fla. (I always make a point to visit a LYS or two while on vacation.) I attempted to use it to make a baby sweater for my son 8 years ago (!!!), but I never finished. In reality, I never made it past 10 rows! So, I frogged it and have begun anew. I am so excited…..this seems like a fast pattern too. YIPEEE!
