Mystic Supernova Swatch

On April 10, 2014, in KAL, lace, Mystic Supernova, swatch, by Anna

The swatch for the Mystic Supernova KAL was posted today.

When knitting lace shawls, gauge is not as critical as it is for a sweater.  That is to say, if your shawl is somewhat larger or smaller than mine, it doesn’t matter.  The important thing to look for is the difference between the yarn overs (the holes) and the knits (the solid part).  If it all looks like holes, go down in needle size.  If it all looks solid, increase your needle size.

Make sure you like the fabric created, and that you can clearly see the difference between yarn overs and knits.  There is no right and wrong, just personal preference.

That said, my swatch blocked out to 18 cm x 18 cm [7 in x 7 in].
