Each season we host a crochet- or knit-along, a virtual event in which knitters and crocheters come together here online to work on one pattern together, share their experiences, and to learn together. There’s no need to sign up! Simply follow along with the blog posts at your own pace as you knit your project, and feel free to share your comments and/or photos as you progress. |
And the pattern is…We heard you loud and clear: Shawl in a Ball is a must have for your stash, and we’re gearing up for a Knit-Along that really shows off this yarn!

please help with gauge. This yarn is too fine for me to go up to a size 10 needle, what do you suggest?
Lorena
Hi Syd,
Check out Kristy’s first post on gauge swatching — http://blog.lionbrand.com/2016/05/04/rio-rancho-cardigan-knit-along-week-2-reading-stitches-and-swatching/ — she got gauge by testing a size 7 and size 8 needles.
