A Failure of Gague

lydyI don't swatch. Since I don't do things that are fitted, I can usually get away with this. This time, not so much. It is significantly smaller than it should be. It was really fun to make, but in the end, the size is a problem. I may try the same pattern again, with larger needles. The yarn is a lovely woolen blend, great colors. If anyone knows a child who would like a lovely blue shawl with cables, I would be happy to give it to them.
This lace, woolen shawl would need to be re-blocked if you ever washed it. Which is do-able, but a bit irritating. My general advice is, don't wash it.
Here are pics.
As you can see, it's too small for me. It is circular, and about 35" in diameter. But it's actually really pretty. So, interesting experiment. One of these days, I'll start swatching. Also, pigs will fly and horses will talk.
