Today I’m going to start a series on tension issues in knitting. I’ll post each Friday this month with a new video and blog post on the topic.
In order to know what techniques to try in order to fix the issues, first we need to determine if there *are* any issues- and what issues are present. So here is a video demonstrating what some common tension issues look like:
Next week I’ll talk a bit more about gutters specifically, and what techniques you can try to 1. determine if it is your knit or your purl stitches causing the issue, and 2. minimize or eliminate the problem.
I am a TKGA certified Master Knitter, Tech Editor and Knitting Instructor. I am also a current Co-Chair of the TKGA Master Hand Knitting committee, the managing Editor of the K2TOG newsletter, a member of the Cast On editorial committee, and a current instructor of the TKGA Professional Knitter certification. I have been designing knitwear and teaching knitting since 2007. My family keeps me busy, since I'm a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom of 2 boys. When I am not knitting, designing or teaching (my boys or knitters!) I can be found spinning yarn, reading or in the outdoors camping and hiking with my family.
