Does knitting a gauge swatch mystify you? Have you knit a gauge swatch and it ‘lied’ to you? Thought you had gauge, but your finished sweater grew or shrunk and didn’t fit? Do you think you have tension issues in your knitting (or aren't sure if you do or not)? Well then, this class is for you!

We will learn the ins and outs of gauge swatching, accurately measuring our gauge so that it doesn’t ‘lie’ to us, and how to identify and remedy common tension issues. Knit up some swatches and join us! Skills students will learn: Knitting a proper gauge swatch, measuring gauge accurately, identifying tension issues, and some ways to combat common tension issues.
