When knitters embark on a sweater project I always advise them to make a gauge swatch.
I also advise them to wash their gauge swatch and then measure their gauge.
In this episode I tell the story of 3 knitters that didn't want to take my advice. One story has a happy ending, two have a sad ending.
Look, you don't have to take my advice at all. I relay the message to you and it is up to you what you do with it.&nbsp;
But let me ask you this...Do you want your sweater story to have a happy ending or a sad ending?

Episode 7: Why my first sweater was a succes and not a disaster

Knitwear Designer Nancy Ricci based in New York City talks about how knitting came into her life when she left a life in the Netherlands to immigrate to the United States of America.
Knitting and yarn found her when she was waiting for her Green Card and Work Permit in 2006 and changed her life. Swept away by wonderment and passion, she discovers a creative life with the medium yarn.
Nancy is passionate about yarn, knitting, crochet, weaving and spinning and simply can't shut up about it. Her love for her medium shines through in everything she does.
