Wow - dazzling socks
I love them
Kitchener stitch: after setting up, with top stitches on one needle and sole stitches on another: slip first st on front needle onto sewing needle
as if to knit; slip needle through second stitch
as if to pearl, but leaving st on needle, with yarn through it. Go to back needle, slip first st off
as if to pearl, pull yarn through second st
as if to knit.
So front needle, 1st st knitwise, 2nd st pearlwise; back needle first st pearlwise, 2nd st knitwise.
This will (hopefully) make sense to those who have already tried Kitchener stitch. As I'm doing it I mutter 'as if to knit, as if to pearl' - 'as if to pearl, as if to knit'.
Leave the yarn very loose through the stitches in case you make a mistake, as if you tighten them on the first pass you can't see where you are. Once all the graft is done, go back and tension them all properly.
