Anyone here ever succesfully stretched a knit?
I have a rib knit piece that would ideally be 1-2 inches wider and longer. I would soak it and then stretch but ime they can then also shrink unless you are careful.

If you gain the weight, doesn't mean your spouse, should too.

I think Bobby Jonathan is saying if Bobby Jonathan was in that scenario Bobby Jonathan would give the sweater to Bobby Jonathan's wife until Bobby Jonathan spent enough time with Bobby Jonathan's renewed gym membership to get back to how Bobby Jonathan looked before COVID.

Yes, it's very easy to do. Just let it dry flat on a towel to control the stretch. Blocking a sweater like that doesn't last forever but it will take at least 5-10 wears before it springs back to its previous dimensions and needs blocking again

we usually use this thread to talk gear as well as training, etc.


I haven’t put on my glasses yet today and read that as “We usually use this thread to talk tear gas as well as training, etc.”
