I am not finished my other 2 projects but I couldn’t resist the swatching. The book calls for 2.75mm needles and I started out with2.5mm as the stitch count per 4” for the project was smaller(26sts) than the stitch count on the ball band (24sts) but it was like knitting with pins! I was so glad that the gauge was wa-a-ay too tight. I moved up to 3.25mm and it was just right. I did about 2” of stockinette stitch and then I did the cabled pattern – 3 left twist and 3 right twist which is the amount for the back of the hand. Ooh it is so collegiate and 50’s.
