So, oddly the advice I got is to loosen up at the join and it works, but it takes a lot of my concentration as I naturally knit really tight.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620674987278960549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700122686263848907.post-68227561943898612332015-08-19T15:34:06.387-05:002015-08-19T15:34:06.387-05:00I love knitting with dpns but tended to get ladder...I love knitting with dpns but tended to get ladders, never knew it could be pulling too tight! I like having lots of projects so that I never get bored - all my projects take a long time though!Lucy Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11910653399470977610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700122686263848907.post-8058985466838119642015-08-19T15:21:29.461-05:002015-08-19T15:21:29.461-05:00I completely agree on the 9" and 12" cir...I completely agree on the 9" and 12" circular needles. I can't even really hold on to the teeny-weeny 9" needles. But 12" Chiaogoo's are just the ticket. I use them for baby hats, too. <br /><br />I used to think having multiple projects going was a bad idea but I find I have to have a plain stockinette project for knitting with friends or in the car with hubby. That way I can visit and not get messed up. And I work on the more complicated projects in the evening when no one expects civility. ;^)Linda CPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120109752805352403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700122686263848907.post-68076210958099715882015-08-19T10:21:02.689-05:002015-08-19T10:21:02.689-05:00Sometimes when I'm bored with never ending sto...Sometimes when I'm bored with never ending stockinette projects I use a safety pin to mark my starting round and then plonk myself in front of a film or reading ravelry or something and just knit knit knit. Then I can refer back to the safety pin to see how much progress I've made.<br /><br />Hope your sweater speeds up for you soon :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653016623039433227noreply@blogger.com
