Yes, Virginia, gauge does matter.

Perhaps not on a scarf, but certainly on a garment.



These were both knitted with the same yarn (Noro Silk Garden Lite) and the same needles (size 8 Addi Turbos). synecdochic knit the one on the left and I did the one on the right. As you can see, I'm a loose, loose woman knitter: my scarf is 20% wider than hers.

Those are those ribbed Noro scarves, ain't they? I've got yarn ready and waiting for one of those. Both turned out very pretty.

They are! I've done something insane like nine of them so far. (I cannot stop knitting them.) sarah asked if she could do one, so I gave up one of my bags-of-planned-scarf to her for travel knitting :)
