Somewhat Cowl
I swatched last night for Knit and Tonic's Somewhat Cowl pattern. I was having issues with my gauge so I am going to swatch AGAIN tonight before I go to bed!
In the back of that photo you can see my new MISSION ORGNIZATION! I went to office max and got a few things to attempt to keep track of my gauge swatches.
First, I got a set of large blank index cards, and a black box for them to go into. I also bought some staples and pretty gel pens and then tabs to seperate the cards. Each card would have a swatch stapled to it along with a ball band and some notes. Then as a second option I found a little 3-ring binder with regular sized index cards in it. It was fairly thick so I figured it could fit maybe 20 or so swatches, stapled to each card. I think the cards arn't big enough to hold swatch, ball band, and notes.
I'll leave you with this from my back patio;
If I can get the gauge right on my new "Rowan Calmer" yarn, I am thinking of knitting an "Essential Stripe" top for MSW in May. My husband approved of this idea.

I listened to your 3rd pod cast. I really enjoyed it. I'm trying to talk my husband into going to the MSW in May also. My girlfriends went last year and had a great time.

so organized! I got completed shortchanged on the organization gene...it never would have occurred to me to do it on index cards. You're brilliant.
