Krista: Having now established guage

My guage was dead-on (that's the kind of girl I am) but I decided I didn't like the fabric density (too loose). So I ended up starting over. I've gone down a needle size, up a sweater size and if Sweater Wizard hasn't failed me, this should be what I want. I'm crossing my fingers which is actually rather difficult while knitting.

Krista Tee: Started August 24, 2006


Gosh. You know what JUST occurred to me, like RIGHT NOW? I didn't do a gauge swatch for this darned thing! Poop.

I started the Krista Tee (White Lies Designs) last night with Sierra Quattro (Cotton/Wool). Its working up pretty quickly; that's about 4 inches of work on the needles. Too bad I just now flippin' discovered I need to stop and knit up a gauge swatch to see if I can proceed and end up with a sweater I can actually wear or have to start all the *(^*% over.

Nice.
