I think it is a great idea even if I don’t want to carry around swatches. I agree with Maureen and Kirsten, this would really help my accuracy in counting.

Hi It makes it a lot easier to count the stitches in any give area thus making you knit size more accurate.

You can copy without putting the lid down just place a larges piece of paper over the the swatch and leave the lid up.

how interesting! seems like it might also help with accuracy as well, although i’m curious whether pressure from the scanner/copier cover would affect the gauge. definitely something to experiment with. thanks!

Conceptually this is good, but this doesn’t look like a blocked swatch (to me)

I can see if you were a big time designer, or just getting into designing, and wanted to carry the copies instead of the swatches around in a portfolio, but what good is this to the normal, everyday, person, knitting or crocheting?

I am a beginner. Why would I want to photocopy my swatches?

The paper it is printed on is graph paper. I thought there was graph paper behind it when the copy was made, but instead the graph paper is put in the paper feed for the copier/printer. That’s why there are such nice lines across the front.
