Sometimes swatches have other uses

I love the artist Kurt Halsey, so I bought his calendar for my wall at work. Eek! the June picture is a drawing of a naked girl! It's from the back, but still, it's a little scandalous.

So Angela let me borrow the swatch she did for her hat and I pinned it over the "calendar girl" as a quick sweater. So see, swatches can be fun, and useful for more than just yarn substitutions.

Comment by MarciH on June 11, 2008 at 10:30am: It isn't a Knit Picks yarn, it's a yarn that Angela had purchased years ago at a craft store. She actually crocheted leg warmers out of it, then hated them, so frogged the whole project and ended up knitting a hat out of it.
