Dammit. I don't know if I'm just fucking up, or if it's because I need a shorter and/or smaller size circs, but this isn't working. There's holes in the knitting big enough to stick a needle through, and tht just won't do. I really hope Drummond's will be open until six today. Or maybe, considering I've several other errands to run, I'll just not do overtime today and not run the risk of finding it closed. *ponders*

I might be able to figure it out, but you'd have to tell me what size needle (and how long a cable), what size yarn, how many sitiches? And are you doing anything such as K2T or a stitch patern?

Or you could just get somebody in RL to help. :)

I know when I first did ribbing a hole would show up once in a while, but it was because I wasn't moving my yarn before I put my needle in. Not that I think that's what you're doing, just a knitting anecdote....

All knitting (stockinette in the round), size 3.75-4.5 needles, and I'm using a size 5, so I didn't think that'd be a problem. (I like to use one size bigger if possible, because I tend to knit too tightly sometimes.) The holes are all regular, like, between the stitches, like it's so loose there's enough room between them for at least another stitch? I think part of it was using a too-long circ, so I'm going to try the shorter, size 4 needles I bought, see what that does.

Ha! Accidental Yarn Over? :D
