Did it grow or shrink in size? I am thinking of knitting a sweater using Blend No. 1 but so need to estimate yardage.

I've never tried this yarn before and was having so much trouble with the beginning, (CO 9 stitches divide on DPNs, knit then YO, etc.) yarn slipped off aluminum DPNs then switched to bamboo and I couldn't tell what stick was next without twisting, so I decided to do the first 5 rows on straights then switch to DPNs, any tips in case I decide to frog and start over?Me & My 3 Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179782887658812371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4518581225469894527.post-49258749876156549022016-03-21T09:13:18.260-07:002016-03-21T09:13:18.260-07:00I just Wiki'ed them too!
