So here comes the bad news: The gauge for this pattern is 36 stitches = 4 inches. My gauge is 24 stitches = 4 inches. Pattern calls for light fingering, my yarn is sportweight. So of course I'm not going to get gauge...why even attempt it?
So now I need to make a decision. What's more important to me at this point? The yarn or the pattern. If it's the yarn that I want to knit with then I need to find another mitten pattern - for sportweight this time! If it's the pattern the I really want to knit, then I need to hunt up another yarn from my stash. I'm pretty much determined to see this project through without buying any new yarn. (Spinning new yarn obviously doesn't count)
Time to look through my Ravelry queue, favorites and my stash and make a decision. One more week before I need to cast on so this decision needs to be made soon.
