Tension can determine the size, shape, and longevity of your project.  The size needles you use, the fibers that make up your yarn, even your mood -- all of these variables affect the tension of your knitting.  It is as personal as your handwriting, and it can change with each project. 

Finding the correct tension for specific patterns and projects is easy. Here are a few simple guidelines to help you along.
