The Gauge Gods hate me.
\nThere I was, happily knitting away on the first Gigi sleeve, when I decided that I might just doublecheck my gauge. Of course it will be fine, It was fine when I started the original sleeve.
\nIt wasn’t fine. I was getting 22sts\/4″ instead of 20sts.
\nWhat is it with me and gauge? I have knit for years and years, I have successfully knit for everybody in my family, and friends, yet have never<\/b> successfully knit myself a sweater. In fact, I have only managed socks and scarves for myself.
\nHowever, I will not be deterred. The cleckheaton sweater has temporarily gotten the better of me, Gigi will not.
\nI hope \ud83d\ude09
\nIn other news, Big Brother 4 has started in Australia. Unfortunately, Em is addicted hopelessly and for the next three months, the family will be subjected mercilessly to it’s ongoing saga. Knitting time for me!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
