Have to see how this goes, but I think the problem with her rising numbers was when I switched to the half unit markings on the needles a few days ago, they had a shorter needle 6 mm. The ones I was using had 8 mm with the one unit markings. So I went back to using them and her number seem to be leveling out. I mean I very well may not have been getting the whole unit in her which makes me feel really bad but it's all good. Just got to be alert and catch things like that but I'll keep an eye on see if that was the culprit
