Swatch Saga

Tank top from One Skein:
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Helen's Lace
Size 8 needles
I didn't even try to swatch with the 8's - I knew I'd be too loose.
Size 7 - Way too loose
Size 6 - Still too loose
Size 3 - Way too tight
Size 4 - To loose
Back to size 3 - Not as loose as before, but tighter than the size 4 swatch.
Now, I'm just going for it. To hell with fighting for the correct gauge. I'm aiming for somewhere close to the vicinity. Stay tuned. I plan to cast on and start charging forward - correct gauge de damned - tomorrow!

But the 3s are so close as to actually be on gauge! I think you have it! Now CAST ON :)
