I really appreciate this class—for as short as this video may seem, the information communicated here about the importance of gauge swatches goes leaps and bounds to helping me with my own knitting troubles. My first gauge swatch for my husband's sweater ended up not so great, and this video helped me troubleshoot reasons why it ended up being the wrong gauge and how to get the proper gauge I need for my knitting pattern before I even start the process of knitting the sweater. Super informative, and I can't wait to get the gauge swatch done right on this thing so I can finally begin knitting that sweater!
