The Magic of Blocking Your Knitting Swatches #knitting #shorts #yarn #handmade

Just a quick sneak peek at an upcoming video! Make sure to follow @WatchBarbaraKnit for this and more fun and educational fiber content.

This swatch is just for swatchings sake to learn more about this yarn and how it will perform in a pattern. As a knitwear designer it is important I make sure I listen to the yarn and find out what it wants to be when it grows up!

Wow! What a difference. This definitely is helpful for a new knitter like myself to see. Thanks so much

I have been blocking for a few years (finally lol) and it’s still gratifying to see someone else’s blocking results. Sometimes I’m knitting and fall into the cloud of “this looks wonky” but blocked out it’s beautiful!

Nice!! Great idea to show the difference between the unblocked and the blocked swatch. Love your videos and shorts. ❤️💙

It’s magic! And the music is great…made me smile.

So glad I just found you as a new knitter!!! Please, please, please do a design for a scarf and a shawl in this yarn💕💕💕. I just bought two skeins and can't wait to make something. Thank you for all your teaching and sharing!!!
