Thanks for sharing yours! I actually really really like the first tweedy swatch. Maybe not for a sock, but for a sweater with a classic shape? It would be lovely! swatches are loads of fun.

I've had that happen to me before too. You think you know what you're going to do with it, and then it proves you wrong. The last swatch is perfect!
