Explaining swatches!

Last night I was at my new drama group and during other people’s auditions I pulled out my needles and carried on with a new swatch I’m current swatch-ing. :XX:

Many people asked me what I was making and i launched into “well, i will be making a hat for my nephew, but this is a swatch to measure the guage of the wool I’m using…”

The glazed looks after “but this is a swatch…” were common. But when I just answered “A hat for my nephew,” people looked at me like I was mental - “It’s going to be a bit small, isn’t it?”

From now on, I’ll just answer “nothing much…”

sigh…non-knitting minds are so limited… (jk) LOL!

No, they are. :rofling:

:roflhard: or you will be BO something and someone will say thats cool but what about all those loose ends you have in there that can’t be good :shock: weave gonna weave them in!! :lol:

EXACTLY!

My boyf keeps mentioning the “tassles” along my HPPoA scarf.

no matter how many times I explain weaving he still doesn’t fully get it.

Hee hee- OT- just found out I got one of the leads our next play! :happydance:

:happydance: congratulations! :happydance:

What’s the play?!

Last Panto in Little Grimley! :sunglasses:

It;s a comedy about a small (and rubbish) am-dram group who decide buck the traditional panto trend - the director writes his own sex panto loosely based on “Puss in Boots.”

Thankfully, you don’t see any of the sex bits!! :blush:
