GAUGE

Gauge is everything. This one is of A & J Starmore Design  "The secret garden" (The Children's collection) A simple ebay yarn that I had to have that day -pay NO mind to the gauge. ~shame~ though much loved for it's graceful design and drapey spring coat effect perfect for  that Sunday outing.. MY "devil may care atitude" made the coat come out far from the defined thick and shorter appearance of the orginal design. Not the wosrt thing to happen after all that work No one but me knew it's short coming. But a lesson learned none-the-less that differnet yarns work differently. DO a gauge swatch.
