A gauge swatch will tell you everything you need to know about the final outcome of the hours you'll spend with some beautiful yarn and your favorite needles. In this class, students will dissect the elements of a properly knit gauge swatch including stitch count, row count, fabric characteristics, swatching for even patterned fabrics and uneven patterned ones like lace, swatching for in the round patterns, and the best way(s) to block your swatches for best results. Your knitting wants you to take this class!
