Six words every knitter knows by heart- Take time to check your gauge. Or even these six- Don't forget to check your gauge. If you have knit long enough you can usually gauge what your gauge will be with certain yarns and wing it with projects where gauge is not critical. Even expert knitters check their gauge on something as time intensive as a sweater or socks or gloves or anything where fit is desired. Take time to check your gauge.
I'm really loving how appropriate this is for everything else in life as well. Applying for a new job? Check your gauge. Shopping for tires? Check your gauge. Can't decide if you should go to the park or not? Check your gauge. How often do we dismiss our feelings and go right ahead with something we later regret- don't forget to check your gauge...Act when it feels right.
So we are still sick here but feeling well-er, health is now visible in the distance. Eva is roller skating and practicing throwing out hearts from her Easter basket for Valentine's Day tomorrow and Samuel is playing a little wii golf. I cut out what feels like 100's (or at least dozens) of little red and purple and yellow paper hearts and Eva decorated with some of them. The windows are a glorious display of heartness. Hoping I feel up to some baking later on for the big chocolate day to come.
We have been enjoying a couple of games lately-
