My knitting group met at a diner in Boise and a 70 year old lady fixed my tension
I was dropping stitches every other row until she made me hold the yarn over my pinky instead of my index finger. Now my scarf actually looks like a scarf, anyone else get help from a random stranger at a meetup?
Did she tell you why the pinky thing works? I had the same issue and someone showed me it keeps the yarn from sliding, total game changer once I got used to it.
