One of those days.

I knit a swatch.

I did my sums.

I double checked the numbers.

I tripled checked just to make sure.

I cast on the right number of stitches.

I used the right size needles.

I knit 2 inches.

It looked a bit too big.

I measured it.

My knitting is six inches wider than it should be.

Me, too! Me, too! I started http://www.knittinguniverse.com/xrx/knitters/GalleryDetail.php?IssueNum=79&ID=492 this (Katharine Hunt's Aguave). My guage *should* have been right on..was it? of course, not. I went down to the next smaller size, still too big - whadda fu? down again...I finally have the smallest size written and it will work for my not so small self (I need about 44" around). Very strange indeed - my yarn and needles are to size and my knitting is right on... oh, gee, could it be a typo in Knitter magazine? Heavens, does such a thing exist? heh. Is this the new Miss B jumper? can't wait to see it.
