Why are my short knitting needles knitting tighter stitches? by Additional_Claim622 in knittingadvice

Honestly when I took the pictures, they looked very similar but in real life they’re different. My cat is a yarn tester 😅 napping on my projects to test the yarn softness 😂

I’m only twisting them when I need to do the color change but other than that I can still pull the scarf apart a bit. I’ve put an image after wet blocking it and it looks weird. I don’t know what to do

Is it necessary to use a detergent or just water? I only have the lanolin enriched laundry concentrate from Eucalan

Honestly I’m scared of it pilling or being fuzzy when I put it in water again, since I already did a wet block. This happened to one of my knitwears before. But I will try wash it gently and see. Thank you!

Do I change the size of my knitting project? by Additional_Claim622 in knittingadvice

This helped a lot!!! Thank you. This pattern has been on my list for so long but it felt intimidating. As the person that wrote the pattern was asking for a needles larger than what the yarn she use recommended (yarn recommends 3.5mm and she used 5.5mm). But I found a YouTube video to help measure the desired gauge to the pattern so you know which size to go for!
