I'd say fraternal, not identical

-
I popped in to see the Sheriff of Knittingham the other day......we hadn't seen each other for a while, I had some stuff I needed to drop off, and I took my Autumn swatch with me to compare to her original Oregon - Autumn colorway sweater.

I didnt even think to take my camera with me - but luckily Lorraine had hers. (I did take a couple of photos with my cell phone camera -- I just have to figure out how to get them off of the camera and onto my computer somehow LOL!)

So if you're wondering how my swatch compares to the original, go visit the Sheriff of Knittingham and see for yourself! (As I said, not identical but definitely fraternal.)

Happy Knitting!

    Anne- Being a fraternal twin (as is your husband) I can relate.

    Somebody riding by on a horse could never tell.

    I am particularly fond of the green (Spring) colorway shown on AS website and several Ravelers have in their projects.

    I saw the pictures, and they're amazingly close!

    I rushed over to Lorraine's and the swatch laying on the VY Oregon is sooo like it that it verges on being called identical rather than fraternal.

    Hebridean is a tough yarn to sub. You did it to perfection. Great going Anne.
