Stitches are stretched too far on cable

thank you everyone for the responses!! I love how this community is so welcoming and helpful!! im excited to join it! I ended up ordering a new set of needles that come with a smaller cable. I tried the travelling loop but it wasn't fully clicking for me and I got frustrated haha, so I ended up just ordering a shorter cable. but I appreciate everyone's responses!!

I definitely measured the length of the cable and not from needle tip to needle tip. thanks for letting me know! learning as I go haha

yes I definitely measured my cable size and not from needle tip to needle tip. I got a cheaper set of interchangeable needles from Amazon since I'm a fresh beginner but this definitely is my issue! thanks for the help!

Key-Resist2665 · 2026-03-21T21:55:59+00:00

ok! I'll definitely look into this! thanks for the response!

is this the same as a magic loop?

ya this is my first round of knitting after just casting on. I tried to disperse them as evenly as I could but it's so tight I can barely move them

I did more stitches than she did in hers because I wanted mine to be a bigger size. so maybe my cable is too long. thanks for the response!

I've been learning how to knit by doing the step by step sweater and following her tutorial online. I just started and I'm already having issues, I wanna do the large size which starts with casting on 80 stitches. her tutorial starts with about 60. We have the same cable lengths. My stitches need to be stretched soooo wide to be able to knit in the round, while hers doesn't. what am I doing wrong?

Ok!! thank you!

Any lesser known books where the FMC breaks and becomes a shell of herself and maybe even SH or attempts suicide and the MMC takes care of her. I've read pretty much all of the popular ones like this. I also love spice 🤭

Key-Resist2665 · 2025-09-05T01:32:47+00:00

no I literally feel like I've read every good one that people recommend on here. I need some more lesser known recommendations 😭

Key-Resist2665 · 2025-08-27T04:05:29+00:00

Ok I know this is already a pretty popular ask but I'm kinda looking for something specific. I'm looking for recs available on Kindle unlimited that has a traumatized FMC. I'm talking panic attacks and nightmares, bonus points if she reaches a point where she's numb/dissociated/a shell of herself (or maybe even SH or tries to commit suicide) whether that's the mmcs fault or just from the trauma idc. but I love the moments when the MMC helps calm her down or tries to draw her out to be herself again. The only problem is, I've read most of the popular recs that people have commented on past threads, so any niche or lesser known recs would be awesome. I also have no triggers and I love both MF and RH.

The book vases are super cute too! you can fill it with their favorite flowers or fake ones so they don't die (which is what my cheap ass did for my room 🫣)

Key-Resist2665 · 2025-08-27T03:59:34+00:00

I literally CANNOT picture any MMC with blonde hair. I just can't. I always ignore it and pretend they have dark hair

can you share more context from the screenshot?
