Today’s swatch is Clamshell Pattern, which is a total pain in the butt to work! I found it impossible to k5tog tbl with knitting needles, so I used a crochet hook.
This is the wrong side, which I thought was interesting too. If I ever needed a stitch to approximate toad skin, this is what I would use.

I like the wrong side better than the right side! But k5tog tbl? Bleah!

k5tbl? Sounds painful…
I didn’t think of toad skin until you said it and now I can’t get that out of my head…

I like that stitch. Is it very dense and thick and non-stretchy?

I actually like the wrong side better!

I love the pattern but I’m not sure I would put myself through the pain of knitting it!
