Taking the Guesswork Out of Gauge
This class is perfect for new knitters who need help understanding gauge – ie. how to measure it and what to do if your gauge doesn’t match the pattern gauge. We will also discuss “ease” and how that affects the fit of a garment. Armed with these skills you can be confident that your projects will be successful!
