On the 72 needle cylinder I'm closer to 11/inch and on the 54 it's closer to 12. The wee bit of extra tension on the 54 delivered the pooling in the photos. When the tension was closer to 11/inch it was a dog's breakfast! And.... when I knit the foot I always hold onto the heel, with or without the heel weights still on. With Anne on the 54 , I find that 'how hard' I hold on, can make a difference in the pooling.....too hard and the pool starts to go vertical....back off a little and the pooling starts to swirl. I guess its one of those sweet spots;o) My tension is set to get 11 -12 rows per inch.

They make me want to go out and buy some Anne. Love the stuff and it wears very well. Your colors look like oil spills; in a good way of course! They make me want to go out and buy some Anne.

Would you mind telling me how many stitches per inch you get with this yarn? Thanks! I’ve had trouble with Anne in the past, but I’m very much a novice CSM knitter.
