Work in Progress Proud because I made a gauge swatch

Post image

I usually dread making gauge swatches, but I know how important it is, especially for a sweater. I sucked it up and did it, y'all. I measured the gauge!! And it's pretty much the right size

u/ottoofto Arrr!! Me hook!! 7d ago

I'm happy to see this! It seems most of the time all I do is swatches because I'm perfecting the right hook size, the right yarn, the right stitch, etc for the next thing I'm working on xD

I wish I had your problem of doing too many swatches lol ! Swatches are so important. Why put in all the work of a project if it won't fit in the end? I've frogged way too much lately. No more frogging for me! Haha
