I did a proper gauge swatch for my Union Sq Mkt Pullover, and I’m pretty close. Using Addi Turbos size 3, I get 27 sts to 4 inches if I spread the stitches out by the smallest amount. The row gauge is off in that I get fewer rows to 4 inches, so my pullover risks being too long. But it shouldn’t be a problem to keep an eye on that (that is, for any straight work, I could go by measurement and not by row count, but it’s close enough that I can leave shaping the same and not worry).
I got to work yesterday and no one said anything about the Tivoli. This, in some strange way, was the biggest compliment I could get. When someone asked me what I’d done over the weekend, I told the story of the party we went to, and then said, “and I finished this.” Then I got a “you made that?” and that, too, was a high compliment.
Ok, it’s time to wrap this baby up.
Tivoli T by Grumperina; participated in the KAL
All I’ve done this weekend is sew in the ends on the Tivoli. We’ve had a pretty crazy last few days–mostly just because we’ve had houseguests coming and going and partying to do with them–and so I haven’t even touched my knitting. I had these romantic notions of finishing it all Friday early evening, and wearing it out on Saturday. But instead I got a call from my boyfriend–out with one friend–telling me that a different friend was headed to our apartment right away. So I hung out with him until the guys could get here, and, well, this guy is really cool and all, but I just wasn’t feeling up to knitting in front of him!
I’m thinking of blocking it tonight or tomorrow and wearing my Tivoli this week!
