Notes

02-07-2025

Swatch using my 3 smallest sized needles. Used 3.5mm first, but it felt too loose. The 3.25mm barely felt different. My 2.75mm Chiaogoo needles felt best, but we’ll see how things are after I wash/block/dry the swatch. Will it bloom?

2.75mm Chiaogoo is closest to prescribed gauge for Wish Cardigan (WC wants 20 stitches and 34 rows per 4”, and I got 20 stitches and 32-ish rows)
