I still don't get what rowing out is.

@the_wanlorn In knitting?

Because if this is a sports post, I cannot help, but I kinda know in knitting

@Betty Yeah! Like, is it actually when someone's purl stitches are tensioned poorly compared to their knit stitches?? I think that is what I am getting but people make it sound so fucking complicated.

@the_wanlorn I would say "sufficiently different" rather than poorly. Like, I think my knit is probably too tight, rather than my purl is too loose.

But it's called "rowing out" because it makes really badly visible rows in stockinette. It's especially visible in the middle of this swatch

@Betty 1) ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ty!!! That makes sense.

2) lmao I was swiping at my computer screen for an embarrassingly long time trying to get that hair off /o\

@the_wanlorn asfjl;;glad Yes okay, I gave you the most betty photo possible
@Betty lmaooo all my pics of knitting look like that *and* I can see two dog hairs stuck to my laptop screen at the moment. So, yanno, I get it.
