Re: Alternative to Kitchner stitch

Hallo Friends !!! I am one of those people who used the Kitchner and didn`t know that was it`s name ... :>:>:>

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 !!!!! mirjam

The weather here is snowy today.

I am doing fine. Gail had to go on a ventilator last week. The ALS finally took her lungs. She is still in good spirits, good as can be.

I am doing fine, very worried about my Gail. It has been a very rough time.

Hugs , Dennis
