frustrating crochet issue
so i'm working on this crochet blanket and i just can't seem to get the tension right. i've been crochetting for a while now, but this particular project is just giving me a hard time. i've tried using different hooks, different yarns, but nothing seems to be working. i've even watched some videos and read some tutorials, but i still can't get it just right. it's really frustrating because i know it's something simple, but i just can't figure it out. has anyone else ever had this problem? any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
Lace shawl edge curling despite blocking—what’s the fix?
Working on a triangular lace shawl using Furls Merino Lace. Edges keep curling upward even after careful blocking. Followed the pattern’s tension requirements (22 sts x 28 rows over 10cm). Tried wet-blocking twice, checked for uneven tension. No difference.
Anyone else had this with similar yarn? The pattern uses alternating yarn overs and knit 2 together decreases. Could the stitch structure be causing this? I’ve considered adding a border stitch, but ripping out 300 stitches feels excessive. Suggestions?
