After it dried it was a good 7 rows per inch. Cara at January One used the Beaverslide wool/mohair yarn and had the same happen to her swatch. I am knitting more length into my CPH to accomodate this shrinkage. You might want to wet and dry your swatch to see if the same thing happens to your yarn if you plan to wash your sweater.Fredahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988823635725904005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-7302539926633067492007-04-08T16:47:00.000-07:002007-04-08T16:47:00.000-07:00What a great colour!

I'm not worried too much about the row gauge since this is a cardigan and extra length might be a good thing. I like your Sweet Grass CPH-it shows the cabling nicely :-)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475244662802875964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-80021519182018033512007-04-08T11:23:00.000-07:002007-04-08T11:23:00.000-07:00I had a hard time chosing from among the Beaversli...I had a hard time chosing from among the Beaverslide colors, too. I like your choice. <BR/><BR/>This is my first KAL, too. I am really enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>Did you do a swatch? If so did your row gauge change significantly after washing?Fredahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988823635725904005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341173294790021096.post-48610865380164382432007-04-08T11:05:00.000-07:002007-04-08T11:05:00.000-07:00Glad you could join us.
