Bummers

I finished up my Mountain Peaks shawl yesterday, and blocked it today. As a reward I swatched my merino. The pattern I was going to use for it—notice the past tense there—Green Gables, just won't work at all. The gauge is all wrong for my yarn. If I use size 6 needles, as called for, I get a totally different stitch count. I don't wear the largest size, but going down a sweater size won't work. The measurements are still too far off. If I go down a needle size, the gauge is still wonky for that sweater.

I guess I need to find a different sweater to make out of my pretty red merino. Blah.

By the way, with all you lucky people at Rhinebeck, it's been totally quiet around here!
