Tension

An important part of knitting a garment you want to wear is making sure that your fabric matches the tension in the pattern. I tried this swatch with 3 different needle sizes and I think I've chosen the right size now. 
The yarn is nice to knit with. It is quite fuzzy and soft. The colour is probably not one I'd choose now but it will be nice to make this vintage yarn into something more modern and usable.
