Title: Kitchener stitch (grafting) - great video
Post by: SallyintNorth on May 04, 2013, 12:37:32 pm

Just found this video on Kitchener stitch  (http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/kitchener-stitch) and had to share  :excited:

Well done Sally  :knit: .  She doesn't show what to do at the end which is the bit where I always get a tiny muddle  ::)     I would add that I leave the stitches much looser so I can see where I've been for tensioning - too loose is no problem, but too tight can be a bummer.   And now you know what I meant when I said 'slip as if to knit' and 'slip as if to purl'  :thumbsup:   :knit:  Have you tried it yet?

I did some under close supervision, loved the outcome :thumbsup: - but knew I wouldn't know how to do it again if I was on my own!   :dunce: :D

I've another to do shortly, hence searching for a vid. ;)

thanks Sally, that was very helpful. I think I may have to watch it a few times but the pattern is begining to sink in slowly.

I still have to look up my book when I start off, in spite of feeling quite at ease once I've reminded myself  ::) :knit:
