Today I'm breaking down a better way to swatch in the round. We'll look at my hold for 2 color colorwork, specifically 1x1 colorwork. I demonstrate my continental hold, a combination style, and the English style. These skills are especially helpful if you're planning to join me for my Sea Glass MAL!

Join me for my FIRST makealong! We'll be diving into the Sea Glass collection from Wool & Pine. They've got several project options including knit and crochet items. If you'd like to craft with me this fall, let me know by signing up via this google form:
