Before starting a project, there’s usually a swatch. A lovely piece of knitting that gets washed once (if it’s lucky) and then gets fondled and measured and then tossed aside when the real knitting begins. It always seems such a shame to have these wee squares of different sizes just laying about.
While doing a stash toss this weekend, I found a bag of gauge swatches from some of my earlier projects (some pre-blog even.) I snipped off the labels I’d so carefully attached and sewed them together on the sewing machine. I think this is a far better use for them than hanging about in a drawer, right?
a stop sign warmer! how cute. there was a blog or maybe it was a rav project that they made little sock cuffs for a statue in their town. it was mark twain I believe!
Ha! You’ve added to our fair city’s knitted pole graffiti! I think there’s one in JP and in a few other locales too. Love it!
This is awesome!
that’s a good tomato… everyone should be warm and fuzzy!
