To go on ...The gauge swatch is the only true test. <br />To go on at length: <br />What brand, country, or continent do the two gauges come from? And also the needles being used? And is the gauge worn with age?<br /><br />I investigated needle sizes and gauges some years ago and observed that British, Canadian, American, and German gauges and needles and charts disagreed greatly with each other and with their own, according to date of publication. I also noticed that my old plastic gauge had somehow stretched holes - it would allow larger needles through, and thus mislabel them smaller than they really were. I think at least one of my older metal gauges also had some holes worn slightly larger with use.<br />=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-43666759896330862872019-03-10T14:32:49.870+00:002019-03-10T14:32:49.870+00:00Wow.

As for establishing gauge, there are some projects for which I know instantly I have the right needle and yarn combination (and therefore feel like an excellent knitter) and others where I never get it right (and therefore feel I should take up golf).

Fiona is right, you've done about 11% of the fabric area. I estimated the number of stitches required to go from an11stitch cast on to a 597 stitch outer edge, with 10 stitches increased on every fourth row. (It doesn't work out quite right, perhaps there are a few extra increase rows at the start?.) Anyway, to have about 200 stitches on the needle now, means you have knit about 8100 out of a staggering 71,000 stitches required, or 11%, which is one ninth the area. I am in awe of all you shawl knitters, who undertake such mammoth projects!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03851186979968932271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-7081921725154443652019-03-10T01:07:08.310+00:002019-03-10T01:07:08.310+00:00Jean's blog for 3 March gave the email address...Jean's blog for 3 March gave the email address to request the emails:<br /><br />revdotchin@gmail.com <br /><br />Also known as the Suffolk Vicar from the UK.

I have several gauge rulers, and they are a bit different. I also use the magnifier on the iPhone, but even then, the 2.75 from one brand isn’t always the same as another.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-86882546016568615822019-03-09T23:59:18.644+00:002019-03-09T23:59:18.644+00:00Love the new hap!
