So today I swatched. I
So today I swatched. I like to knit with wooden straight needles. Call me old fashioned if you will, but the truth is I prefer wooden needles, and it is difficult to come by wooden or bamboo circular needles here in Australia.
However, it was not to be. I had begun the sweater on 5mm wooden straights, so I swatched with 4mm straights. Nearly got gauge - 20sts/28rows. 5mm aluminium circs got 18/28. 4mm circs got 20/28.
4.5mm anodised aluminim circs - bingo. At last.
So now I can go again on my merry way. From the start. Maybe tomorrow ;)
