Natalies Sweater.................. Take a look at the right front of the sweater on the bottom...
I restarted this half using yarn that I had started a part of the sweater with weeks ago but ripped it out because it was the wrong size that I was doing... Anyway when I rewound it the yarn had little " curlys" in it.. Then when I did the front it shows up "funny" in the knitting...
I saw it right away but I thought that after a while it would conform to the fabric...
However as you can see .. its still there... Do you think that if I steamed it lightly it would smooth out that spot there???
Or do you have any other suggestions besides redoing the WHOLE half of the front... No.. No Don't say that.. I want to get this sweater done already!!!!

Finish the sweater.

If it's wool or other non-acrylic do a good wet block (soak it for at least 30 minutes in warm water), then get it good and dry (some people roll in towels, then step on the roll to draw out the water--I use my salad spinner). If it's acrylic, wash it according to directions, then dry it on very low heat in the dryer.

I think you will find that your fabric will look much smoother and your knitting will even out nicely.
