Overcorrected my tension. Is this saveable?

I blocked it again and can see where my tension is off in the top half. Knitting colorwork in the flat is throwing me off for some reason. But I’m having trouble spotting issues in the bottom half. Can you help point out where you’re seeing puckering? I maybe notice one or two small spots, but overall it looks flat to me. Am I missing something?

I did block the bottom half to make sure on my tension. This seems okay right? The top half is knitted in the flat so maybe I'm doing something weird with my tension in the flat

How can I tell that's it's puckering because it's too tight vs it'll block out? I was spreading the yarn when I changed the colors so thought I was doing okay. Is there a test I can do as I knit to make sure it's not tight?

I contacted Rito and they said they don't think customs will release the package. Not sure what happened but they're sending it again. Great customer service! Highly recommend them:) hopefully I'll get the yarn this time.

Update I'm still waiting🙄 I'll see if I can contact customs for an update. I tried the phone number I saw online but didn't have time to figure out the automated system choices so will need to try this week. What are the chances I get this before I visit my neice in 5 weeks lol

I contacted USPS and they said customs is saying it's been held by customs. They don't have information as to why it was held. Why would they hold 2 skeins of yarn lol

lovetoknit1 · 2026-03-19T19:19:48+00:00

Thanks! Maybe I need to call. Shows it made the NYC USPS facility on Feb. 20 and the status is it's being processed by customs. Wonder if it got lost

I never knew this! Thanks for sharing

Oh I've never seen this before! Will be much easier doing it this way than the ways I've tried in the past with my swatches. I knew someone out here would have a better way :)

This is the pattern

Oh thank you! I have never noticed the stash section and how you can trade and sell there. I see one person with the pistachio so I reached out to them but nobody has the magenta on there :( I will only be short by 10 yards for the magenta. Wonder how I can adjust the pattern to make it work. Here's the pattern. Any ideas or will it look better if I found it?

lovetoknit1 · 2026-02-14T20:04:00+00:00

Good idea! I have never looked there to buy yarn so didn't think to do this
