There&#8217;s a little bit of everything in my queue, and quite frankly I&#8217;m a little sick of my stash, but a decision (and a swatch) was made.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/P1110757.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/P1110757-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"P1110757\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1167\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/P1110757-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/P1110757-480x360.jpg 480w, http:\/\/wp.randomknits.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/P1110757.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/ursula-cardigan\">Ursula<\/a> by Kate Davies in Wollmeise.

The colours won&#8217;t be the same &#8211; apart from the pink and the natural, and my tension is off.
