knitting Ok, my lovelies, I have decided to try out dpns and make myself up a pair of fingerless gloves. After MUCH searching, I found a pattern that fits the bill for my very first pair (oh Ravelry, how many hours I spend with thee), Hope's Fingerless Gloves (lookie, I put in a link for the non-Ravelry crowd, you odd people!) and set to work.
Using the dpns was like driving a clown car full of puppies but I did get the hang of it and the stitches settled down after the first few rows and then...I began to cable. I like to learn at least two new tricks per projector I am an martyr. The second row, I noticed that my cabled stitches were abominably tight so I have questions.
Should I be knitting fairly loosely when I cable?Is it really supposed to hurt this much?
I will fess up that I am using number 6 needles for a project calling for 8's but when I pulled it off the needles, the cuff fit nicely with some excellent stretch and I have small hands. And for those who like to know these things, I am using Mirasol Akapana for my yarn.
thanks in advance!
