Hi All,
Thank you kindly for all assistance. I worked until i got to about 6 rows from the end and it started to pucker but only on 1 needle. I don't know if my tension is to tight either. Machine has been serviced and was told in good condition. So I am going to give it another go on my next day off work.
Will let you know the outcome.
Next question is.... if i have 2 ply wool and use 2 lots so having what i would assume would be 4 ply. I have treated the yarn as a 3 ply as it seems so thing.
Would this be correct or does one just say 2 strands of yarn on one cone mixed with another with 2 strands = 4 ply.
Thanks again in advance.
Regards
Colleen

Personally I keep on going with the ribber comb and weights until they
hit the floor - after that, I tend to just use the small claw weights
at either edge of the knitting, or roll up the ribber comb as Sue
suggested. By then, the weight of the knitting itself is more than
sufficient to ensure correct knitting.
Let us know how you get on.
