An orange Barcelona Memories 2 sock is almost ready for the lacy leg section! This is the same size needle that I used for the Navy sock but this circular is wooden and I knit less tightly with this one. I wonder if it is because wood is less slick, so I am not trying to keep the stitches on the needle. I like it a lot better for knitting pleasure so that is a good thing!
I love the color!! xo
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the different needle materials causing different results. I was tearing my hair out trying to get the right gauge on the Chestnut sweater's sleeves bacause I couldn't remember exactly what needles I had used on the body. Metal and wood do have different gauges. I could kick myself for not ever documenting the needles I use when I'm in the middle of a big project. Ravelry makes it so easy to do so but I never do it. Shame on me.
ReplyDeleteI always knit my socks on wood needles - I can't manage it on metal - though I use metal for all my larger projects! So strange!
ReplyDeleteSoftware auto-digitizing has come a long way, but manual editing is still essential. Great points!
