It is coming out longer at the sides and shorter in the middle because when wrapping, the middle section gets wrapped/woven much tighter compared to the ends. How to avoid this: I suggest getting a piece of foam/or a piece of wood and inserting it in the center when wrapping the board, once the board is wrapped, take it out and knit over. Another useful tool is to use a yarn guide or a thick straw and insert your yarn through it and use the guide/straw to weave the yarn. Or, you can knit the first and last stitches and then knit the middle ones. <BR/><BR/>The longer the board is the more it has the tendency to come together in the center when knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
