Substituting Yarn with a Different Gauge

  Here's what you'll find in this newsletter: - A description of my HANA sweater, designed by Junko Okamoto, and the yarns I chose to make it.  - An overview of the ratios I used to substitute a yarn with a different stitch and row gauge from what the pattern designated. I show how to plug numbers into the ratios to solve for how many stitches and also how many rows to work, given gauge differential. I also show how to do the math once the ratios have been filled in.  - Notable things to consider, such as swatching and skein procurement, when working with a different gauge from what's designated in the pattern.  This is a lengthy newsletter which takes a topic that is best suited for a book and/or lengthy class and condenses it into a useful guide meant to empower the knitter to be creative when selecting yarns for projects.    This is a PDF of the exact newsletter that I sent to subscribers gratis.
