06/01/10 - Knit a second half swatch on size 6 needles.. strangely, the row gauge came out about the same and all I did was shrink my stitch gauge by a lot. I think I’m going to knit this on the 8s and see how it goes. After washing and drying, the original gauge swatch is pretty close. My YO holes just seem so much bigger than the photos.

05/31/10 - Knit half a gauge swatch on size 8 needles.. worried about my row gauge. My stitch gauge is spot on, but 12 rows is more like 3” rather than the 2” it should be. Going to wash and dry my swatch and see what that does for it.
