Why Yarnswatch?

Because we've all been there. You're standing in your local yarn shop fondling a skein of the latest must-have yarn, when the uncertainty strikes you. You think to yourself, "Sure, it's beautiful sitting here in the hank/ball/skein, but what will it look like knitted up?" Well, at last there's a source for you to see for yourself just what that yarn might look like in an actual garment, as well as hear my comments on what it's like to work with the yarn. Just as you can't judge a book by its cover, you can't always judge a sweater by its hank. Now I'll take the plunge for you, and boldly go where someone has undoubtedly gone before, but just hasn't posted about it.If there's a particular yarn you'd like to see, leave me a comment or send me an e-mail, and I'll do my best to get it done for you.
