Continuing the discussion from Welcome to the KnittingHelp forum! …Introduce yourself!:
Hallo, I am a new conscript! I have been knitting on and off for 30 years and although I can follow a pattern and knit most stitches I fall down with making the correct size. Either too small or too big, usually too big as from the test squares I make, my gauge is too loose. But heres the thing…I don’t like going down a needle size as I don’t like the tightness of it. So, is another way round this, to just knit a smaller size? Also is there way of knowing by the first few rows of the back of the cardigan project whether or not it will fit me correctly? Would be nice to know before I finish the project whether it’s going to fit or not.
