You can finish this!These were all things I said to myself about the Panda Silk DK Fan shawl.
Well, let's just say I did finish it, and the it in question is a doo rag, and was supposed to be a doo rag. A very fancy, time consuming doo rag.
Now I'm working on the Emily Shawl from Knitscene blah, blah, just bought yesterday. I hope it too doesn't turn out tiny. For the record, I have heard of a gauge swatch. Heard of.

What is this "gauge swatch" you speak of? I think it is an evil invention created by the zombies to distract us...
I can count on one hand how many times I have done a "guage swatch"
I usually start the project check for my guage once I am into the project.
I really don't know about this gauge swatch thing. I've heard about, but I too was under the impression it was a zombie hoax.
Have you tried blocking it yet? Sometimes a good soak and stretch can do wonders for size. (helped me out of a number of those "gauge swatch" issues)
Panda silk is cursed! That's what I used on my drop stitch scarf. Now I am on my third attempt at making socks with it. Cursed I tell you.
I haven't blocked yet. It's so cute and little, I think I've grown to like it.
Oh, BEC!! I didn't realize that your cursed yarn was panda silk...I would never have attempted this had I known!
So many of your knitting adventures could have been written by me...but not as humorously...yet I knit on...and am so glad you do, too... and live to tell about it.
