    FO Friday – Stay Soft Shawl

    WIP Wednesday – Blocking and Swatching

    This WIP Wednesday I am going to talk a little bit about blocking and swatching. I recently saw on a friend and colleague of ours Natalie Selles’ (@leeleetea) instagram stories about how she was struggling to work out her gauge over a large area of cabled and textured stitches. Even though she had swatched for…
