Gauge woes
March 22nd, 2004 at 10:49 am (reference)
Today I found this video showing how to do two color knitting and wrapping yarns as you go (without twisting the balls of yarn all up).
I rechecked my gauge on my sleeve. It’s quite a wide variety. Down towards the color pattern, it is 6 st/in (as it should be). As I get more towards the newly knit stitches, it’s 5.5 or 5.25 st/inch. AIGH! This means I have to use a smaller needle (and rip). Will this solve my ballooning sleeve problem? Would i have had this problem if I wasn’t switching ^&*($#^ needles every 2 inches in length? After I rip it out, and go down a needle size (which is really just .25mm total) will I then tighten up too much and get too many stitches per inch? Let’s hope not!
