Try Out Swatches

For my design work I try to get try out swatches done whenever possible unless there isn t time It s extra work but can save a lot of time if the design doesn t work. There s a always a big difference between a sketch on paper and seeing how it works knitted up. I use them to try out yarns, stitches and colour combinations. Here are some examples. Sometimes there isn t even a plan, just trying things out. These are for the Make at Home range and just trying out stitches and yarns swatches.
