My other post was on loose stitches, but this one is on tight ones!
I never beleived I knitted 'too tight' until I started doing something besides a knit stitch. (I am new to knitting). When I couldn't Ktog....and couldn't norwegian purl. I had worked on a giant discloth and had to abandon it becuase I couldn't do the Ktogs...so I realized I knit WAY too tight.
I am working on a project with plastic DPNS and 100% bulky wool. Now I can get into my stitches easily and do things like Ktog and norwegian purl which want more 'room' in the stitch, but I cannot slide my stitches on the needle. Is this because of the plastic/wool or are my stitches still too tight? I am trying to loosen them via not using ANY tension on the working yarn (just leting it slide free) but the stitches are still not sliding on my needle.
