Default pattern question

Hello everyone
Has anyone seen the pattern called "Terrific Tank" made in Zigane yarn by
Skacel? I just got the pattern from Rob and Matt with some yarn. I was
working on the gauge and noticed it only has stitches not rows. I am not
making it in Zigane yarn but something else. Matt and Rob are closed now and
I won't be able to call them until Sunday when I am at work. I am just
wondering if anyone knows the gauge. Thanks.
Kristine

Hi!

Row gauge, for the most part, isn't too terribly important. Normally,
you work until a piece is 'long enough' (sometimes a target number is
given). The place that would cause problems is armhole and neckline
shaping - and that's only if you are substituting a majorily different
type of yarn (ie bulky instead of DK or the like).

Since you have the yarn the pattern called for, matching the stitch
gauge is all you need to worry about.

I am not using the same yarn as in the pattern.

Sorry, I read too fast - the rest of my message covers it tho'. .
Unless the two yarns are vastly different thickness' if they are
then you need to be careful with the shaping.

Thanks for you help Sonya. I called Rob at Threadbear and he said that the
row guage was not important because there is not much shaping. It is a tank
type of sweater.
