TO GAUGE OR NOT TO GAUGE.....

Christina models her beautiful cashmerino aran sweater. Hard to believe that she has only been knitting for a year! Doesn't she look great? The sweater fits perfectly!

Alas, Lynne's Manos effort did not turn out as well. She approached her error in typical Lynne fashion, with good humor and taking full responsibility! On the positive side, her stitch work and finishing techniques are fantastic!

The difference between the two? Christina did a gauge swatch, and Lynne did not! If you don't get correct gauge for a sweater, you may join Lynne in making one that ALL your friends can get into at the same time!

Unfortunately, generally, the rows shrink more than the stitches when felting.
