I am just terrible at starting things I don't want to or am scared to do! I've got a lot of time this weekend, so I think it's going to happen. I'm thinking with more optimism and I feel like I'll le tyou and Emily down if I don't finish soon!Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995741186393767934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32470482.post-71864065584912953212006-10-25T16:43:00.000-07:002006-10-25T16:43:00.000-07:00=( Aw.

I don't mind it, once I get started, but I don't like the idea of it, so I rewrite patterns to be worked in the round. I just finished seaming two baby sweaters that a co-worker knit b/c the babies are born and growing and she wasn't going to do it. <br />Once you actually do it, you'll be surprised how easy it is and how wonderful it looks.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038260803806370954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32470482.post-66753442959690845382006-10-25T11:42:00.000-07:002006-10-25T11:42:00.000-07:00*tumbleweed bounces across the room....**tumbleweed bounces across the room....*Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995741186393767934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32470482.post-36488705329151784322006-10-24T16:26:00.000-07:002006-10-24T16:26:00.000-07:00So... where's the report on how the seaming is goi...So... where's the report on how the seaming is going?

Look back at figure 77 on that site, it's a perfect pic.<br />There's a trick though: when you start, loosely tie your yarn somewhere _near_ where the seam will be, like an inch or so into the shoulder or whatever. That will help stabilize your first stitches. Then look for the little horizontal bars, as in the figure, with the right sides facing you. Your needle will go under 2 bars for each side, and you'll always go back into the "hole" where the yarn is coming out of on the other side. <br /><br />Am I making any sense? It is helping? Personally I don't like seaming much, but it doesn't need to be feared! I believe in you! =Dmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038260803806370954noreply@blogger.com
