The actual number of swatches I've knitted for my last video!
If you've ever wondered, just how much time goes into creating one of my videos, here is your first glimpse. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I think I use up around 5kg of cotton yarn each year just for swatches. Can you believe it?
Some day, I should put that to good use. Right now, I am just saving it up for some worthy purpose in a trash bin, ha! The problem is, that cotton yarn becomes a bit fuzzy after unraveling. So, I can only use it once or twice for videos (at least if I want to maintain the clean look). Of course, there are ways to fix that and the crimp - but I simply do not have the time for that. I can either produce more content or rescue yarn.
Either way, hope you found that bit interesting.

PS: And if you haven't watched my video on stretchy cast-ons yet, do it now & show it some love <3
