Tight knitter woes
 

Okay, if this stitch doesn't teach me to stop knitting so tight, nothing will. Doing a baby blanket that has p2tog-tbl throughout several rows. Wow, sure is hard when you knit tight that is for sure. I am finding it so hard because my stitches are tight. Just wanted to vent! Thanks:eyes:

That's a tough one for everyone. :hug:

Thanks for saying that. I thought it was just me and the way I knit. Good grief, just glad it is a baby blanket and not a full afghan. So slow trying to be sure I have both stitches on the needle.

I knit loosely and even I have trouble with that one. AARRGGHH!

I feel so awkward doing it. Sure won't look for a pattern with this stitch any time soon. Yuck!!!!!

But it's so easy to correct! Isn't it? Why don't you practice on something you're not knitting, just a swatch. Just make ... the... yarn... go... around... the... needle... a little less tight. ;)

knitting two tog often produces a tighter stitch so you'll really have to loosen up. good luck. wish I could solve my problem as easily...

( I can't decide what to knit next)

I was rummaging around for patterns on the internerd and found one with p2tg and I ran far, far away. :D

Purl 2 tog is easier than k2tog. It's the p2tog tbl (through the back loop) that's the tricky one.

Oh...I don't even have the foggiest idea how to do that.

Go look in the Glossary, I think there's a video for both p2tog and p2tog tbl.
