Sooo proud of myself

Wow! It's a swatch. First time I both 1) made a swatch 2) washed it before measuring!!!
I know. 1) should be automatic and actually 2) should, too. But for me it took some unexpected happenings with the gauge of my forecast cardigan when I washed it, to actually start doing this.
The wonderful swatch is for Sukkertrøjen, designed by Marianne Isager. It is knitted with half Tvinni and half Spinni Alpaca (50% wool, 50% alpaca), both from Henrichsens Uldspinderi. I went on another trip to their factory outlet, and I promise I bought almost nothing there and it was very cheap...
