Got Gauge!

Filed under: Cream Baby Cardi — by Heather @ 8:31 am

Here’s my gauge swatch for the Cream Baby Cardi:

Guage Swatch for Cream Baby Cardi

The Daisy Pattern calls for a gauge of 20 sts/28 rows for 4inches in stockinette. My stitches are at 4 inches, but my row gauge is a little off. I’m not worried about that, because I can easily adjust that. I did a gauge swatch for the Green Baby Cardi and was able to get gauge, so I probably didn’t need to do another one, since I am using the same yarn. But, given my gauge issues with Wicked, I decided to do one anyway, just in case the gauge gods were against me. Besides, what else am I going to do while waiting for my yarn? It should come today, along with my sock yarn for the toe-ups. Cozy has been my backup knitting, but I’m looking forward to starting other things.

This will probably be my last post for over a week. I’ll have access to the internet, but I can’t imagine having time to post here.

  1. You’ve appeased the knitting gods with your swatch so hopefully the cardi will be smooth sailing. Enjoy your vacation, and have fun in Vancouver. (Wink, wink.)
