Ordered kit.
Disclaimer note in this kit: Yarn supplied is enough to do all sizes. Right there, I become suspect.

Glad I’m not that big of a swatcher. I mean, I do swatch …kinda…
but not into the child comforter size of swatch some uber achievers in knitting classes attain! You guys know who you are- veritable blankets of swatch. steam pressed.labeled with cute little tags in a calligraphy not seen since the Illuminated Manuscripts.neatly placed in the large ziplock bag the testament to your modernity.

And secondly, tbh, I don’t like that stress of worrying whether I’ll have enough yarn,to which my SABLE can attest. So I used Spindrift from stash to do some shading and highlighting.
I knew I was going to face the corrugated rib .+$$ And voila, 3 extra skeins MW Raw ended up on my door step. Thank you , https://thewoollythistle.com/ .
(The shipping cost from Marie Wallin is $$$$$ for just a couple of skeins)…
And to add more of my two cents since we’re talking money; Having ordered Virtual Yarns kits in the past, Alice Starmore seems to give one enough yarn to do a fine swatch.
