Hi,
I seem to maybe having problems with the body, it doesn’t look right or not centred, as when you join legs, starting point is in the middle and now I have done 4 rows of round 7&8 I have a higher edge on one side. Can you please clarify if this is correct, kinda doing my head in. Added photos would have been good for this stage.
Cheers Kat
