The Extra Lite Bright sweater is all done, washed, and laid out to dry! And I'm already swatching for the next one, which will be the Calluna Pullover with this gorgeous yarn I got for my birthday in January.
Calluna has two different patterned stitches, and gauge is specified for both along with stockinette. I don't want to assume that just because I get gauge in stockinette, I will also get gauge in the pattern stitches - or is that actually a valid assumption?

I have old cones of yarn meant for machine knitting (maybe weaving?), and I've been testing them to see if they're good. Once I knew the yarn wouldn't break apart under tension, I tried a few new stitches...

The previously knit-and-washed swatch is at the top of the picture, and today's piece is across the bottom - this fabric changes when it's washed, mostly shrinking vertically.
