What to do
I went an entire evening without something to knit last night. I'm not kidding, I have NOTHING on my needles at the moment and it's really a problem for me. I had an adorable top picked out from the recent Knitscene and had chosen the perfect yarn from stash. My problem is, the pattern calls for a DK weight yarn and my stash yarn is fingering weight. Can this be done? How? I'm not that advanced of a knitter to just know which yarns can be substituted. So it seems that today I'll be doing a bit of swatching and a bit of researching for other patterns as well. My heart is set on using the stash yarn (Adrienne Vittadini Celia), the chosen pattern can wait for a different yarn if needed.

No credit to the husband who was shipped out to the garage to find that yarn that was STILL packed in a box with the rest of the yarn stash. I SEE! :-{
Isn't it frustrating when the stash and the pattern books just won't match up?! You're right, swatching is all you can do, then hope to get gauge and a fabric that you like all at the same time :) Good luck!
