What would your knitting life be like if you never had to "get gauge" again? What if you knew how to knit just about any pattern in just about any yarn?
In this class we'll unravel the secrets behind knitting to your gauge, not that of the designer. Working through a pattern of your choice, you'll learn how to evaluate the differences between the given gauge and your own and make the changes necessary to knit the project in the way that works for you. You'll learn how to adjust for differences in both stitch and row gauge, how to be a "pattern detective" when schematics are not provided, and how to work the simple math that frees you from gauge tyranny.
Homework: Select a pattern and yarn for a garment you want to make. Using your selected yarn and needles that give you a fabric you like, knit a gauge swatch in the stitch pattern specified in the pattern (if none is specified, knit a swatch in stockinette stitch) that is at least 6 x 6". Wash the swatch and lay it out flat to dry.
Supplies: Bring your gauge swatch, a copy of the pattern that you can reference and mark up, pencil, calculator (the one on your phone is fine).
Level: Intermediate to Advanced
You will receive the recording link and handout immediately upon purchasing the class, both on the website and in your email inbox. Please save the link somewhere accessible.
