idk how swatches work why is this too big?
Can we just normalize googling things when you dont know what they are? It drives me insane.
"Did you swatch?"
"No idk how/idk what that is/idk how it works"
Ok but you've heard of it. You've heard people tell other people to swatch. You've seen pictures of swatches and you've seen people talk about them.
And yet at no point did you go "hmmm im not sure what they're talking about. I should look it up, maybe it will be useful."
Have you no curiosity for your craft? Do you always completely ignore words you dont know the meaning of? Did you think people were saying swatch just for the fun of it?
And yes, I will downvote people in the help subs if they failed to do literally any research into something that is talked about on nearly every post in every fiber arts sub.
"How do I swatch?"
YouTube is free.
"Did I get gauge?"
Can you count?
"What if my gauge is off?"
Honey thats literally in the swatch tutorial. Literally all of them. Watch more than the first 5 seconds.
Why do people make gauge swatches so complicated? Its literally just a square. I think you can figure it out.
