Hallo Friends !!!
I am one of those people who used the Kitchner and didn`t know that
was it`s name ...
show/hide quoted text
:>:>:>
I looked at the site and Like Katherine, it seemed very
complicated ,,,
I will tell you , first i am a one piece knitter , and thus don`t have
many seams at all , and when i think i will need them i would rather
spend time thinking how to AVOID them. But of course there are times
when they are needed .
When i knit mittens , i get to the end , turn them inside out and
divide them over 2 parralel DPs, i first decrease at the sides ,
knitting together , the 2nd and 3rd stich of each side of each DP,
this i do 3 times [ decreasing thus 3 x 4 st], than i am left over
with some less stitiches i just stich through both parralel st and
cast of as if they are one ,,,, from the first 2 st .. to the last 2 ,
everytime knitting through both `rows` , i just treat them as if they
were one needle.
When i need a seam in something which for example has been knitted
from bith sides and meets in the middle of my body , i lay the knitted
piece parralel , facing each other , so that the GOOD [=right =the one
to be seen !!!] will be towrds me than i take a needle with thread and
Imitate the stitch as i see it with a needle and thread ,,, [ps in the
rare occasion [ it happend !!] that i can`t make a nice seam ,,,, i
embroider over it as a Must of the pattern !!!!!
