I read that somewhere. But you do need to knit the mitten first, to figure this out, ie gauge swatch.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the photo of your studio with the wood stove and the loom. I learned of your blog from Robin Nistock, when she was commenting how much she loved your studio with the wood stove.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing, ENJOY!Kelli Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11812543872395645954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-27732919657622352762015-01-16T09:33:16.087-05:002015-01-16T09:33:16.087-05:00Well slouch hats are all the rage now you know!
