Here it is. Finally. Swatch #1. I didn't do anything fancy on the edges, except that really focussed on my tension and knit with the tips. It's not perfect, I can see some inconsistencies, but as Ursula reminded me on the phone the other night, "just wash it -- everything [handknit] looks better after its been washed." So today I will block it and see if those wee inconsistencies which are slowing me down, will blend into the rest of the knitting and I can get onto swatch #2.
It's the ribbing that kills me.
I like the dark background on your photo. On my next samples, I'll have a dark background, with a measuring thingie on the sides... hmn.
