  swatching
So instead of, say, packing, or determining where we'll be going outside of Glasgow, I thought it was maybe time for a new project. Last night I spent an hour searching for patterns and swatching. Really, why not knit when there are other things to do?

I'm using this Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece yarn- 80% cotton 20% merino.. not sure about it being cotton, but it will be a summer shell, so I'll deal. I *think* I'll be using this pattern, or at least starting there.

No pictures... imagine a couple of swatches of black yarn? Hopefully Icelandair allows knitting needles, as I'm flying solo and meeting my guy over there. The UK now allows needles for sure as 25 April, so we shall see.

the thing I'm most looking forward to in scotland? shopping... fabric, yarn, and HABERDASHERY. not sure what's involved, but I'm there!

------------------------
Agh! ran for very long last night- almost a half hour? we think it was 2.25 miles running, and had a few faster parts in there.. my legs are tired! woo! We're talking about a 10K training program in the summer- supposed to run 4-6 miles comfortable by then. we'll see!
