[Nfb-krafters-korner] tight knitters

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

I am sure I do not need to do that with the way I cast on.  I have a few stitches that are a tiny bit loose.

I've also used a larger needle or 2 smaller needles when casting on.

I was talking to the leader of my knitting group, from my church.  she is going to help me block the blanket and I also mentioned that I knit tightly.
How can I prevent it from curling up or knitting to tightly when I cast off.
She had a neet Idea.  I have not tried this yet, but she said to knit onto a larger needle when you cast off.  I am going to cast it off at the knitting circle so she can see my work and I only have size 11 and see if I need larger.  Let you all know how it works.  It sounds logical.
