"Love the Ebook! It’s thorough, informative, and easy to understand! You’ve really explained gauge well, especially for those who may have had troubles fully understanding it previously."

"The ebook is great: it really helped me see the importance of making gauge before every project. Making gauge was one of my list favorite things in crochet, and it makes it sound much more easier and put a lot of sense into it. I loved the thorough explanation about what factors affect your gauge and the practical part that follows the theory part."

After crocheting for over 20 years, I've learned how important having an accurate gauge can be.
My passion over at Amelia Makes is helping others enjoy the beauty of crochet in the midst of a busy life. Whether you have kids at home(raises hand), a busy job, or other things going on, I know how satisfying it is to actually finish a project and be happy with it.
With Engage with Gauge, I hope to share what I know about getting predictable results when you follow patterns, so that you can spend less time starting over!
"If gauge is something that holds you back from making crochet garments, then you just found what you needed to give you confidence. Amelia did an amazing job with Engage With Gauge. It is a complete guide, full of instructions and pictures that will help you to never fear gauge again."
