measuringtapePurlingSwine has some shocking news.

Earthshattering really.

I am going to knit myself a sweater.

A Sweater for Me. not a shawl, not mitten, not a hat – a Sweater. And it shall be Banff.

Now that I have seen the Light of Gauge, I am a changed woman. (cue choir music)

I have knit a sweater or two for myself before – but it was long ago and far away and they really didn’t fit me properly. If you clicked on the Banff link, you will see that it is a big, comfy sort of sweater — hardly fitted by any stretch of the imagination. However, I am not going to blindly assume I need to make the large, I am going to measure.

So, not only am I going to swatch and measure my own work I will also need to measure myself.

I forecast the clicking of needles, snapping of tape & gnashing of teeth!
