More on knitting hand spin 5-ply sport weight

One can get gauge by using finer needles and knitting more gently or by using larger needles and knitting more forcefully

I am back to using spring steel  / 2 mm needles with a wooden knitting sheath for knitting hand spin 5-ply sport weight.

I find threading the knitting sheath on to braided apron strings to be a comfortable way of getting good stability. The ruler is 12" long.
