When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient.

'Tea and Sympathy' Shawl Reviewed by Connie Jacques on 2008-02-29
I have made this shawl over a dozen times for daughters and grandaughters and cancer survivors. It is an excellent pattern with awesome reviews from all the recipients. Include a copy of Michelle Edwards book ZERO GRANDPARENTS and if you are a grandmother it adds a special meaning to your knitting.
