Hello! I’m new here — I know they exist but I prefer the classic forum feel to other sites.
I’m trying to make knitted flowers with flower stems — the stems will be made as i-cord. I have not done i-cord before, but it’s very simple and I am competent and can follow directions, so…(??) Baffled as to why this continues.
I have tried to knit, unknit and reknit the starting of this several times over and correct this problem myself. But the back consistently looks like a gap/similar to the look of laddering in the middle of a project — pieces of yarn stretching across that gap, from where the one edge is meant to connect directly to the other. It does not matter how much I try to pull them tightly together mid-knitting. It does not go.
Yarn is roughly DK/light worsted, cotton, and needles are US 5.
Thank you for any help you may have! And Happy (late) New Year!
