I have no idea about swatching actually, never had to knit anything with a pattern that didnt lay natural. I got 5st an inch (unblocked) and 6 rows and inch in height.

So I have no idea what to do to block, am I supposed to make it so you can see the ribbed pattern better? I figure it will do that on it's own when i wear it. I'm confused how to know if it's going to fit. Any hints woubd be great! It's cotton and viscose and it says to wash and then flat dry, I can't imagine the size will change any if I am not machine drying it...

Tonight was fun fun tv, Laguna Beach was reality TV at it's finest, it's what the real world used to be waaaay back when! Then I saw my fair brady, omg what a train wreck but I am happy they are getting married. Then of course "Girls Next Door" which I can't explain my facination with this show. I am tryign to get my husband to get the November issue of playboy because I want to see their photos. I think I'm going to have to buy it myself if I want it. I'm just to embarrased to walk in some place and buy it! I wonder if barnes and noble has playboy. I can't explain my facination with these 3 girls, it's just sooo weird i can't help but watch. I tried to watch the Britney reality series, but it was just BAD.
