Techniques with Theresa - Fall 2008 - what's with gauge
“To save time, take time to check gauge.” “Check your gauge before starting.” “IF YOU DON’T CHECK GAUGE, HAIR WILL GROW OUT OF YOUR EARS AND YOUR KNITTING WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST!!”An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Hand-knitted socks are a glorious thing.

The back join (subject of a previous post ) is a method for working in the tails AS YOU GO in multi-color knitting.

Standards & Guidelines for Crochet & Knitting
The publishers, fiber, needle and hook manufacturers and yarn members of the Craft Yarn Council have worked together to set up a series of guidelines and symbols to bring uniformity to yarn, needle and hook labeling and to patterns, whether they appear in books, magazines, leaflets or on yarn labels.

Now, this isn't very difficult, but it is scary the first time you try it, and there are a few shoals in the water, so that's the subject of today's post.
