Learning something new
No picture today because I spent the last 24 hrs learning something new! and exciting! and new! Did I mention new? There I am swatching for St Brigid in stashiola yarn stash a long unofficial participant doncha know and I judiciously start with one needle size smaller than recommended in pattern. Cause I am historically a loosey goosey knitter. Ah my swatch was too wide so I make another swatch and another and another. Yes 3 more swatches. Each time puzzling over why my gauge is getting more and more off. Ah heres the new part: When you are getting too few sts per inch decrease needle size. Can somebody send me something to help me sleep already?
yarny days and knitterly evenings ya'lls
