Deja Vu all over again


After all my second guessing, frogging, and algebra, I have admitted that I am an idiot. My gauge may have been off but my thinking was right. My measurement lies somewhere between the 37" and 41" chest on the Sunrise Jacket. If I have 1.5 more stitches to the inch and make the 41" jacket, it will fit me perfectly. So back to the drawing board for me last night and I knit back to where I was, on the same size needles. Good times.

I have started the lava socks too but haven't worked too much on them. I really like the colorway.
Backyard Leaves is still there. I am focusing any knitting done today on that. Knitting both pieces at once has really been the project's life-saver. It is much easier with Cotton Fleece than the Lamb's Pride I start with before. The leaves are much more defined.

  • I'm not the only one who gets gauge angst?!! Small things just seem like a swatch in itself, but for jumpers I find myself measuring constantly - gauge, finished pieces, things in my wardrobe that fit well, me ...
