If you knit lace, e.g. for the Crazy Lace Cardigan or all sorts of other things, you should always knit swatches.
And what to do with them later on? (For me this is the reason why I don’t make swatches, often to my own disadvantage ;-)).
Anyway, I’ve found something now: you can ‘simply’ make knitted lace notecards with them ;-)
I presented a site with lots of knitting (lace) patterns before, so that you can start directly ;-)
And if knitting isn’t your cup of tea, it works of course with crochet, too, as you can see e.g. with my cro-tat card for Mother’s Day.

By her own account the pattern for the knitted lace notecard on the photo is Grün ist die Hoffnung which is available as free ravelry download.
There you can read the following: “Grün ist die Hoffnung was designed for the Socken-Kreativ-Liste, a German yahoo-KAL with 2000 members.
It is available in English and in German.
You can find the English version in my raverlry store for free. Please contact me for the German version.
