RE: NeedleWorkMonday - Giving Your Project a Professional Finished Look!
ahem - ah yes... theoretically I know, that I should wash my swatches.... practically I am proud that i swatch at all :-DD While only crocheting it was not necessary, as my tension was easy to calculate for me, but with knitting this changed.
And I have such bad experiences with washing and blocking. Two times I have ruined a garment... Sometimes I am too afraid to wear my knitted sweaters, as I fear to sweat all over them and this will lead to: washing :-DDDD
Oh, dear ! That must have been so disheartening, @neumannsalva... I also suffer with tension swatches. I haven't done a machine knitting swatch for ages (I actually forgot how so I need to look it up again), but you have to wait ideally overnight before you actually measure it so the knitting relaxes!
