Episode 3: 2023 Block of the Month Knit-Along with Jenny Fish | One Big Happy Yarn Co.

I have noticed the yarn you selected for this project really has a predisposition to curl up on itself. I thought at first it was because on the first block I did not center pull the yarn and used the outside strand. On the second (first) block I did a center pull and it still did the same thing. On the next block of the month I again used the center pull but every time I needed to pull out more yarn I rotated the needle with the rows on it counter clockwise until the twisting & curling relaxed and was gone. This gets very tedious and annoying. Is it just me or is this a characteristic of this particular yarn? I have not ever encountered this with any other yarn I have ever used. The yarn is very soft and has lovely drape, but as I stated earlier, this twisting and curling is very annoying. Sorry to be complaining, but otherwise this is a nice project to work with and you are doing a great job showing the new stitches and explaining everything.😃🧶

I didn't have that issue. I'm wondering what style of knitting you use. I knit English style. I'm sorry you are having this difficulty. I'll ask around and see if anyone else has this issue and see if I can find out tips and tricks. Thank you for posting about this issue. ❤ Jenny
