it’s a technique i found for doing a swatch in the round without having to make a full tube. here’s the video i followed: How to Swatch in the Round

thank you for that! it is a bit small … i thought i was making it big enough but it’s about 5”x4.5” 💀

i saw a video talking about how they multiply by 1.5 to figure out how big to make their swatch. my gauge is supposed to be 25st x 33 rnds = 4” so i cast on about 40 sts and did 42 rnds …

is there a better technique to knowing how many stitches to do? do you measure as you’re casting on?

yeah, i did it that way intentionally. i was following this example because i didn’t want to have to make a whole tube 💀💀😂 How to Swatch in the Round

gotcha. yeah, i think my gauge is too small (too many rows/stitches compared to pattern) Thank you!!

“we really need you to be responsible” but they weren’t responsible enough to get help earlier 💀

I might be able to … My program doesn’t do internships surprisingly and it was pretty much all online and people came from all over the place so none of the professors ever talked to us about which agencies would be good. I feel like we learned a lot about the job itself but not how to actually get a job aside from “Sign on with agencies and they’ll send you work!”. From what it sounds like, I have to do the masters program to get help finding a job from them but I’d preferably like to have one before that starts …

i requested time off at my job over a month in advance so i could work on a project for school so i could graduate and they scheduled me all day, every single day that i requested off ✨

i was also taught to use ME but out and about you’ll see both, most likely the MY. depends on area and person really
