The Homespun gauge is 14 sts/20 rows = 4" st st. The narrow-looking part was done on every needle at the loosest setting (10.2 I think). The looser part was done on the tightest setting (0) but on every other needle.

Here's the thing. Both are pretty close on the stitch count. Every needle gives me 14 sts to the 4" on the nose. Every other needle gives me 13.5, and the jacket is too large anyways so I can play with that. Unfortunately I'm not even close with the row count. Counting 20 rows on the tighter one gives me barely 3", and on the looser one I get around 3.25"/3.5". I know that the pattern is basically a rectangle and I can recalculate my gauge to make it the correct length...I just don't know if I want to bother. I can barely see anything with this yarn and my skill on the machine isn't that good. It's common for me to have an odd loop at the edge of a row from not pulling the yarn taut enough, or to accidentally drop a stitch. A big part of me is leaning towards doing this by hand just so I have complete control over it, because I really feel that when I use the machines I'm NOT in control.

We'll see. I'll ask Yannick later which fabric he likes better- the one from the machine or mine by hand, as I have about 4" done so far. My fabric has more drape, that's for sure. There's nothing stopping me from doing it by hand. It's slower, and I have to keep scrunching the yarn down 'cus it bunches up along the core. But it's soft, and a relaxing, easy knit. I just feel so silly having 2 knitting machines and not using them, especially on a pattern as easy as this one.

Oh- I finished 1 Fibonacci sock last night! I'll post a pic tomorrow.
