trying to graduate from stockinette

sampling. a nice grey wool from sweden paired with thinner ones in black,purple and dark blue to see which one looks best.card nº1 standard brother machine.if done fairisle style you get a gooseye texture in two colors.it is not easy to knit a sweater, at least for my skill level, with that set up.but as i need a gauge swatch i am using thyis to practice and gain confidence.then i'll decide. i hasve enough failed projects under my belt.

it is mind boggling how i can knit double bed jacquard  art pieces and how incapable i am of knitting a well fitting sweater.
