On the precious subjects of swatch and gauge, here's a reminder why they're so critical: a most disproportionate one of a pair of socks (see picture). Too large in diameter and too short from heel to toe. All because, I in my beginner's blind enthusiasm, set out to conquer the world (of socks) and ignored taking my arsenal with me. That arsenal incidentally is the gauge. This sock (pun intended) - fortunately or unfortunately - taught me more than I had intended for it to!! :)
