Archive of Thread: Tension swatch Back

Hi Sue
I was checking out various learning videos and happened to notice that you measure rows on the "wrong"side of the knitting and stitches on the " right" side. I have never seen it done like this before - normally the "right" side is used for both? Is your method more accurate because having checked it out, there can be quite a big difference.

Hi Margaret!
I don't know where I learned that tip. It makes sense to me that I can see the actual stitch formation of the rows and measure more accurately

(Margaret, If you measure the same number of rows or stitches on the reverse, it must surely measure the same as the other side...? )
