It’s true. I’m a tight knitter. Like ridiculously tight. I remember someone once telling me that, “you’re strangling that needle like it owes you money”. After that comment, I’d sit down to knit and think “Loosen up, Casey” trying to make it my new mantra. It only worked slightly with some of those first cowls standing up on their own. I have, however, learned some tips along the way to make things a bit easier in my realm of the Tight Knitter.
