This is REALLY weird.. St st curling in the ROUND!

#1

I feel like such a n00b asking this… but can a too-tight gauge make your St st curl while knitting in the round? Mine is curling, and it’s creeping me OUT.

#2

It always curls, flat or round. Like if you’re making a hat, you have to do ribbing or some kind of edge, or it’s automatically a roll-brim hat. :smiley:

yup that is why i love knitting my hats in the round cuz it gives a great roll brim!..lol

#4

Looks like I freaked out a little early… it’s much more under control now, about 19 rounds in. I’m used to a little bit of curl in the round, but this was just CRAZY curling.

#5

In the beginning it looks like it’s going to curl forever. The bottom stays curled, but you get a break after a while.

#6

Yeah, that’s pretty much how it went. I’m such a n00b! This is what happens when you’re knitting a voodoo doll at 3-6 am.

I wonder if the person you’re knitting it of had problems last night, too. :rofling:

#8

It’s for my MIL!!! :smiley: :shock: :smiley:

Well - that explains the passive aggressive resistance then, doesn’t it? :shock:

Cuidate (careful)…she knows…

Strangely enough, I know that she will LOVE this thing when it’s finished. She has a VERY strange sense of humor, which is why we get along so well (most of the time).
