Description
Have you knit a sweater without checking your gauge and ended up with something too large or too small? Did you know to check your gauge and diligently worked a swatch in advance and it still ended up the wrong size? It's not you, it's how you are measuring (or not measuring) your gauge! Join us as we learn the keys to success when determining our gauge - from the knitting of the gauge swatch, to the blocking, to the measuring. There are some key "best practices" that not a lot of knitters know about. We will uncover these, plus some more tips about gauge, in this demonstration.

Homework Required?
Optional: Knit a swatch in stockinette, at least 5 inches by 5 inches. Worsted weight yarn in a light color would be best for ease of seeing the stitches. Blocked would be ideal.
