Wicked swatching

Well I'm so excited to be starting the Wicked KAL! I am trying to use stash yarn. I swatched up today my Andean treasure from Knit Picks(I hope it's consumer friendly) that I bought awhile back. Planned for another project, but I decided that it would be better suited for this project. I'm using the color sangria, a deep purple. I swatched up on size 7, then 8, and got gauge on size 9s. I've told myself that I need to finish my dad's scarf for his b-day next week. I also have a sweater that needs sleeves yet...and it's a quick knit so I'm trying to make myself finish it first! We'll see how it goes!
