Clapotis question
Thanks for all the kind comments on the socks, everyone!
I was saying to Spud the other day that repeated and cheerful frogging only means we’re becoming better, more exacting knitters. Ha! So in my quest to become a better knitter, my first stab at Clapotis has hit the pond. I decided against the laceweight on size 5s because between the socks and the laceweight shawl I think I need a project with slightly bigger needles and thicker yarn.
So I’ve started it again on size 7s, doubling the
laceweight. It’s not too tight, really, but why is it curling up at the bottom like that? I know it’s supposed to curl at the sides, but is this bottom-up also normal? Or am I doing something wrong?
Mine curled like that also (the tip still does) – once you get some more rows it should be ok!
Thanks for the prompt response, Stacey! I trawled through some discussions online and am relieved that it isn’t only me.
I saw on KR that you’ve reached the end of the increases… look forward to a progress photo on your blog!
I think mine curled a bit, too. Also, once you start dropping the stitches, it works against the curling, too!
I’m a bit further in Clapotis now and it did curl, but later, once you start dropping the stitches, as Spudsayshi said, it straightened. And then there is always blocking! ^^
Curling is normal…and if you block it, it’ll go away
