I’m with Kathleen – I have to label my swatches or even a week later I wouldn’t remember what the yarn or needle size were. How do you keep track without any labeling?

That almost looks like fair isle, very pretty kaleidoscope.

I use my saved swatches to go inside the clear plastic cover of the many large, white ring binders I keep my printed patterns in. i love remembering what the swatches were for, which garment for which person, for example. Generally I”ll have a small note pinned to the swatch saying what needles were used, which stich and row gauge I achieved, etc. Useful and meaningful info.

That kaleidescope effect could be the basis for a whole ‘nother swatch – it’s great! A pillow cover or colorwork cardi, anyone?

Very nice! I save all of mine, too, although I have no idea why or what I’ll do with them. I just like them very much. I think that one day I’ll have a fabulous brainstorm about what to do with them.
