Swatching for Cherie Amour
Where is the ruler?
How can I measure this swatch if I can't find the RULER?
GAHHH
EDIT: Found it. Thank you, oh forces that be.
First gauge, 2x2 rib, 14 stitches per 4 inches, on size 11. Supposed to be 18 stitches per 4 inches. So, size 11 too large. Pattern calls for size 9 (9 and 13, gauge in 9), so tried 11 first. Now going to try 10.5.
Second swatch, size 10.5. 16 to 17 stitches per 4 inches, depending on how I read it. (pattern says "18 sts/24 rows = 4 inches over 2x2 Rib (slightly stretched) using smaller needle". Slightly stretched? Gah)
Okay, going to try again on size 10, fortunately I bought size 10 dpns for Alanna's stocking.
