After about 4 rows I had a distinct line across the fabric and the stitches looked different. The sweater pattern is a 2x2 rib. I have figured out that I am knitting exactly like in the knit back backwards photo (which would be incorrect) and purling correctly. Is the line normal when knitting in the round? Do some people go to a smaller needle because the gauge changes and the knitting becomes looser? Do you have any suggestions about how to keep the same neat look for the entire fabric? Thanks for your help!; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you Knit Picks for having excellent pictures in your tutorials. A suggestion for a future tutorial is How to Knit for Lefties, with your excellent photographs.; ▶ Reply to This

I'm mainly a sock knitter, and would love cool new patterns, to go with yarn to maybe knit 3 pairs of socks instead of the 6 you had at Christmas.... ANd if you would offer it in a way where we could pick from groups of colors and groups of patterns that would be lovely.
Thanks.
