Just found this video on Kitchener stitch and had to share  :excited:
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

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:
