Archive of Thread: swatch chart Back

3 years ago
Well we all know the value of swatches.  However they can get cumbersome and I was looking for a way to easily refer to them. So i made a chart in excel that i can always refer to easily.  The swatches themselves are keep for visual reference and what tension i can visually see i like.  Of course i can refer back to them if needed. 

These are my machines and my tensions that i  like.  I would suggest you use your own swatches   Please dont use these numbers.   I do have the blank chart one can change the machine name.    i

I do something similar, but a wider-ranging spreadsheet in that I record the details of each garment I knit.  In addition to the yarn and stitch pattern used, the Tension Dial setting and the swatch measurements, I record the size and style of the garment and the amount of yarn used.

You guys are so organized!  Thanks for sharing!

Using Google Sheets would be a great place to store these spreadsheets.  If you use multiple devices you could access your information from computer, tablet or phone.
