Look what has happened to my KnitRedKAL cardigan from last year. The rows of chenille are developing these little wormy outgrowths (inside yellow circles). It’s only the chenille, and they are not snags. Even the darned-in ends are coming out.
It’s like any slack in the stitches is just working itself out. I have pushed the outgrowths through to the inside of the sweater, but they just squiggle back out again. I’ve knitted a lot of chenille, but never had this problem. Could this be a result of knitting it with other fibers nearby? Anyone else had this problem with chenille?
The only thing I can think of is to push them to the inside and tack them with sewing thread. There are at least two dozen of them. What a pain!
You can probably guess that I’m still reading Perry Mason novels.
