Pitumarca, Peru. 2011. (Photograph by Joe Coca.) What&#39;s the tiniest gauge you&#39;ve ever knitted? I think my smallest is probably 8 stitches per inch, and chances areenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://www.knittingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2012/09/19/a-rich-history-knitting-traditions.aspx#102038Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:48:25 GMT44ce05d4-61e0-4251-b9ba-686eafad3c9f:102038turtle606<p>I&quot;m not sure of the gauge but I knitted a small piece with sewing thread and Glass head sewing pins for a doll house scene.

I am making loops for buttons for my granddaughter&#39;s coat. I couldn&#39;t find any loops or cord to match to make the loops after I decided the knit fur material would not hold up to the strain of an active 9 year-old&#39;s activity. The knit material is bright turquoise fake fur. Very pretty but I am pretty sure buttonholes would not wear well if machine made or even french bound. I finally found embroidery thread to match and two strands, twisted and doubled and knit into an i-cord is a perfect strong loop. I&#39;m going to thread elastic through the middle of the cord. It took me several months to think how to solve this.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.knittingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=101909" width="1" height="1">
