I forgot how to increase stitches to make it bigger than a small
Hi! I just watched and downloaded Corrina's video on determining yarn weight when the yarn label is gone. She didn't specify what size knitting needle she used. I think the diameter would made a big difference in WPI. Ive seen other articles that use a pencil. Can you clarify this?

Sorry, I don't understand what are you talking about
Sorry Susan! My comment went to the wrong project. I meant it to attach to the Yarn Weight post. I have since seen from others how the yarn wrapping works.. Cindy
