Gauge Matters, the importance of swatching
We say swatch, you say ugh! We want to change that with a class that helps you with understanding why we gauge, how we gauge, and more. Ever knit a sweater that fit two people? Or had a scarf come out stiff as a board? Maybe you ran out of yarn. This class will help you understand why these things happen, prevent them from happening again, and help you see swatching as an essential part of the hobby.
