Different needles, different gauges: it's true!
So I indulged a bit of time in some knitting science yesterday. (This is what happens when I'm stuck at home with a cold and a lot of back episodes of CSI.)
Here's two swatches of the same yarn, on the same size needles. One was knit circularly, on dpns; the other flat.
The gauge is indeed different... I'm looser on dpns than flat. 30 sts/10cm flat, 28 sts/10cm round.
Hypothesis proven. (Note careful notations pinned to swatch.)
