--------------------------------------

I found that the granny stitch rounds puckered a bit using the same size hook as the shells round, so I went down a size to a G for the gray (after doing it all with the same hook size and frogging). Still puckered. So for the black, I went down 2 sizes to an F, but that still puckered a bit. I didn’t feel like frogging again so I left it. I’m hoping that blocking it will help a little.
