Size and gauge
My fellow knitters. In the UK it is said that worsted weight equates to a thin Aran or a thicker DK, a dilemma. So I have Aran wright yarn which if I knit on a 4mm needle will be stiff so i’ve opted for a 4.5mm needle. My gauge is coming out at 19 sts and and 22 rows. Is anyone else knitting with Aran weight and what needle and garment size have you opted for and is it working well?

I’m struggling to get gauge too, I’m using thick dk and getting 20st but just can’t get row gauge too- maybe I need to hang weights off my swatches 😬

Which 3?
I have 4 colours but I’d like to use 3 colours & have D the same as one of them. Really bad at choosing colours - which 3 should I choose? Have more of each colour

The sweater I made using these colours (& a few others) shows the contrast. Just need to borrow it to check the row gauge - that’s called very lazy swatching!

Worsted yarn
Where can I buy worsted weight yarn from in the UK or can I use DK, Aran or 4ply doubled from my stash to make this weight? Thanks

Print or On Screen
Excited to be part of my first mystery KAL but not sure the best way to view the Rujuu pattern when it starts? What do others do? I use Knit Companion usually rather than printing - will this work? Can you add extra pages to a project as the clues come in?

@Angel Fitzgerald I tried that but preferred knit companion for the charts- you can change the colours to match your project!
