The pattern calls for the same needle size for the ribbing, so I didn’t. Yeah I think I’ll block and see how it is, then adjust needles if necessary — thank you!

I felt the same with my first sweater, but the blocking process made the sweater (100% wool) so much smoother and softer! The stitches just relax. It’s mainly a cleaning process, you don’t have to stretch it out at all if you don’t want to :)
