Question:

To knit lace, must I use thin yarn and pull real tight?

HelloI'm a beginner knitter, but I'd like to know if small needles and yarn is required to knit laceI tried using size 12 needles and thick yarn, but it turned out squashed and weird, so should I pull the yarn tighter and change my needles and yarn?Also can somebody tell me some lace patterns for noobs like me?Thankyou very much!

Answer:

saran wrap on the inside to prevent leakingPaper can go next to keep the form of the saran wrap, Cotton goes next as this is a good insulator, and finally form with the aluminum foilthat should do the trick Note: Aluminum is a good conductor, not a good insulatorThis always has to go last because it will take the heat of the water and disperse it out through the aluminum.
I would stick to the old yarn over, K2together If you use large needles and heavy yarn, it won't look like laceIt will just look like holey knitting! I would use a smaller gaugeThere's no need to pull tightNormal tension is fineAre you on Ravelry yet?
