How do you get the stitching perfect like this. When I go from the knit sts to the purl ones it's all sloppy. This is what I want mine to look like. I don't have a sample of mine. It was too awful to keep and I tinked it.
It could be a machine knitted item.
Maybe wood needles would help grab the yarn? My tension is a little more even with wood. I find metal ones allow the yarn to slip more. Depends on what I am making which I use. Just a thought.
Found the blog associated with the puc.
Jmcret05 is correct in suggesting blocking had a lot to do with it.
If you scroll down in the link ,you can see her progress pics.
Tighten up your tension when going from the knit to purl and purl to knit.
Just don't over tighten your tension.
Very pink knit addresses this problem in one of her videos.
Thanks for the link! I didn't realize that it was made out of bulky yarn. BUT - big but here - do you block if you use acrylic yarn. I didn't even check if her yarn was acrylic or not. I can't use animal fibers at all. And I'm terrified of killing the yarn if I try to block acrylic. It's pretty clear that I don't know much about this stuff - sorry.
I think it looks better as a basketweave idea all woven and bumpy. The flat, sat on look spoils it for me.
With this type of acrylic yarn, one need only machine wash and dry for "blocking".
It's all in the choice of yarn.
Yarn has a lot to do with it, but that definitely looks blocked to me too. Beautiful stitch though.
