For the record: Swatch, you’re kind of a dickhole. As much as I like the feeling of security I get from swatching, as often as not, it’s useless.
That’s not entierely true. It’s usefull for wee projects and fine yarns, but man, for worsted and up, knitted fabric is just so fracking unpredictable. Curse you, lying swatch!
Okay, back to my knitting. I want to get it in one more repeat before I hit the hay.
That’s pretty much my experience of swatching. And now… I don’t do it! I’m a bad, bad knitter :-(
