As quoted in Cat Bordhi’s book, New Pathways for Sock Knitters, “Gauge really does matter! Just as your handwriting differs from that of others, so does your gauge. When a pattern suggests a particular needle size, it does NOT mean you should use that size – not unless that size gives YOU the required gauge.”

Colors seen on your monitor and printed versions may vary slightly from the actual yarn colors. Also allow for lot-to-lot dye variations.
