It is fingering(sock weight). I would guess the gauge might be right because it is a lace pattern and probably on larger needles that you would normally knit for socks. <BR/>I guess the lesson is don't look at the guage to decide the yarn you want to sub, look at the yardage per 50 grms or whatever. The yardage should match closely. Even then if you sub a totally different fiber say silk for wool it might still come out wonky:-)e's knitting and spinning bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019757391284945315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9154803.post-1158326805463526802006-09-15T09:26:00.000-04:002006-09-15T09:26:00.000-04:00Isn't that sweater pretty?

I think you calculated your gauge wrong. It is nice because there are lots of good subs but bad because it takes a long time to knit a sweater in fingering:-(e's knitting and spinning bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019757391284945315noreply@blogger.com
