Question: Norman, what are you doing with your gauge swatches?
1. Yarn bombing (collect a couple with you and your friends and decorate your neighborhood) 2. Cleaning rag/dishcloth. Depending on the size/fiber, you can also repurpose them in the household. 3. Scrappy blanket. This will require a bit of planning because you will need similar-sized squares but if you always knit with similar yarn weights (like dk or worsted), then you can definitely turn them into a blanket. Fill the gaps with crochet, etc 4. Unravel them, wash the yarn, and repurpose them. 5. Unravel and use the fiber as stuffing for your next amigurumi 6. Some people collect their swatches in their pattern binders. Attach a little label with the vital yarn/gauge info and your next project with the same yarn could be a lot easier
Do you have any other ideas? Comment below!

PS: Personally I don't do anything with my swatches - especially those knitted for my blog/videos. Simply because I do not have the time. Those knitted for actual projects typically will be unraveled.
