DISCUSSION ON STITCH GAUGE VS ROW GAUGE:
My impromptu discussion on St vs Row gauge. Example to visualize; if gauge is 20st and 24 rows for 4" then the proportion between st and row gauge is 20:24 or 5:6, so for a vertical pick up you would knit every 5 out of 6 rows. I tend to simplify and find it generally works perfectly when knitting 3 out of 4 rows. Hope this helps!!!

WHAT HAS BEEN FINISHED:
1. Colorwork Cuff Club (by Summer Lee) – using leftovers mini for white and Tanis Fiber Arts Purple Label Cashmere Sock color Deep Space
