So I ordered some wonderful maroon thread for round two of the table cloth. It came this week and I started right away!!
After making 10 rows I checked the gauge (I’m using a size 7-1.5mm needle which was recommended on the label) and realized I’m going to end up 6 inches short. 😫
Gauge measuring is HARD!!! Here’s a comparison from my coffee table doily!! My finger spread is the same number of rows as the maroon circle.
After fiddling with some numbers I grabbed the next size needle I have (a 8-1.65mm) which should only be 6 inches short. Sadly, my next biggest needle is a 2.75mm and will end up 14 inches too long!
Whelp, I’ll just repeat the final rows until it’s the right size then move to part 2 of the pattern.
Wish me luck!!
P.S. Here’s a sneak preview of my next project in the making…
Does the pattern have a gauge swatch recommendation? I never used to do them but I’ve found that they actually work so well 🙂

Sadly no, I checked all over there’s only a German stitch key and a sentence or two that I can’t really translate.

Bummer! I think you have already chosen the best solution then, repeat the last row until you have the right size. I’m sure it’ll look beautiful 🙂
