Well, I finally got my stitch-to-row gauges matched up by switching to Addi Turbos. After being a diehard bamboo girl, I'm finding I really like the Turbos, at least with Calmer!
And, I finally got gauge with Audrey, but on US#10s!!! Yowzah! So, trusting the gauge, I started knitting...and really hated how flopsy and overly stretchy the fabric was feeling (and I noticed I'd made a few small mistakes...). I ripped it all out, and I think I'm going to go down one needle size and see how the fabric feels then. With this design, I'd rather have Audrey be a little more snug that too baggy.
Anyone else have this problem?
I did manage to make it to the decreases, and finding them a bit tricky at first, I checked out Julia's great tutorial and found it to be extremely helpful, particularly the pictures.
