I was hoping to be well on my way on the Proserpina sweater by now, but I was having gauge issues.
I swatched on the needle size the pattern suggested, and the next two smaller sizes, and I still was not getting anything near row gauge after blocking.
A friend suggested changing to wooden needles, because needle material makes a difference with row gauge. I did and it did, and I am close enough to row gauge to start knitting.
In other news, I swatched for Astro Pop, the sweater whose pattern drops on Friday. I got perfect gauge using needles one size smaller than suggested.
Should I start Proserpina tomorrow and Astro Pop on Friday? Or wait til Friday and start Astro Pop only?
MK out.
