These Salt Peanuts are Making Me Thirsty
I’m going to swatch this up today. I’m excited to finally start on this project as it’s been sitting in my closet for a few months. I should be working on stuff I’ve already started, but I can’t wait any longer.
Okay, since I began this post a few hours have gone by and I’ve forgotton I was in the middle of writing it. In the meantime I’ve gotten gauge on the recommended needles, US10.5. I started off using #9 bamboo, figuring that since I knit loosely and usually use smaller needles to get gauge, but this time I had so much trouble trying to keep the yarn from stretching and bouncing in order to keep the stitches even. With the larger needles (Addis) I can pull the yarn as tight as is comfortable for me to knit, and when it relaxes it springs into the correct gauge.
Knitting on such big needles with the Bergamo is heaven compared to the White Buffalo Unspun. Apples and oranges.
