After working on something that ended up having over 650 stitches on the needles, it feels amazing to be working on something with only 84. And I love this yarn.

After working on something that ended up having over 650 stitches on the needles, it feels amazing to be working on something with only 84. And I love this yarn.
Swatch time!
The yarn is Miss Babs Yowsa in the Mind Games colorway.
I "swatched" for Overwild back in early March, meaning I started the first sleeve, but the designer knits waay tighter than I do and my sleeve was HUGE. She used size 6 needles to get 8 stitches per inch in ribbing *after* blocking, in DK weight yarn. Like, whut? Even unstretched, that is tight. So I knew I needed to go down to at least size 4s--which is why I needed to finish the shawl before starting this wrap.
This here swatch is stockinette on 6s, and my gauge is bang on without blocking. Yowsa is 100% superwash merino, however, which in my experience tends to grow a lot with blocking, so I believe I will use size 5 needles for this.
