Just had to blog about this here…At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we don’t get our yarns labelled for content/gauge here in India…So whenever I work with a pattern, I’m working on totally different materials and with a totally different hook as well. I’ve been encouraged by the posts of Sara
Gauge? Hook size? Feh! Who wants to live life so cautiously?
yes, I am crocheting without working up a gauge swatch first. Oh, the shame! I can see you’re swooning, feeling a bit faint from my confession, are ya? Go ahead, put a cool cloth on your forehead.
I am not alone! YAY!
So Cindy, you can add me to your list of gauge-defaulters.

LOL! Dawn (Wild Yarn) also added her name to the list.
I really don’t know how to get rid of crickets. We have the same problem where I am.

LOL…I’m afraid I don’t swatch much either. However, I’ve a good excuse. I make my own patterns. LOL
