I have this recipe book for country wines which is so cute (organised according to the seasons) but I was wondering if the instructions were a little outdated, do people still do things the same way the author describes or have common practices changed? (I’m following recipe B).

I wonder this because I’m a knitter and a pattern from the 70s would be fairly different from a pattern published today. Certain tools have become popularised which make techniques different.

Thank you in advance!

When knitting on DPNs I’ve always tightened up my first stitch on the next needle to not have a gap, but trying colourwork for the first time and when carrying a float across the two needles I seem to have it too tight and created a bulge all the way down. How can I tension the float correctly whilst also not having a gap when going from one DPN to the next? Thanks!
