Fair Isle
Puckering in Fair Isle knitting?
I started a project about a week ago and it was my first Fair Isle ever. I found the basics and went with that, but I didn't know that puckering was such a huge problem. I figured blocking would fix it, but apparently that isn't the case.
Do I need to rip it out and start over? I'd be okay with that, but it's another whole week of trying to do it right. Is there a way to make it work with blocking? What have you done or do you have any ideas?
Thanks in advance! =)
NO! you do not want to cut your floats! if you do then the whole piece will fall apart!
what you need to do is hold your needles farther back then where you normally would, this helps to evenly space your stitches which makes your floats nice and lose. doing this will prevent the work from puckering and the piece will lay nice and flat.
you can try to steam block it if there is only a little bit of puckering, but if the whole piece is like that, then your best bet to get the better results would be to start over using the tip that I have above.
