Two fair isle steek making methods

The "wound" method is just YOs or backward loop cast on loops thrown up onto the right-hand needle. Most of my sources say a knitted steek is more secure, plus when you cut it it won't leave *as many* ends.

I can't even say "steek" without a trembling in my tummy. The thought of taking scissors to something I have worked on for ages just makes me ill. Good luck with your search.

Kather> Ok I don't know if I can say this properly, actually that's why I'm

Now... why do I feel like a 'kid' and want to run up to you, Katherine, and say "steek, steek, steek...etc" till you *really* ahem... "*rumble*" LOL Noreen who knows you're now going to *grumble*, grin!

Have *you* ever steeked, Noreen? The mother of a friend of mine is from Norway, and I have seen her do it, but I still can't do it myself. "Rumble"??? More like vomit!

Hugs, Kather> Now... why do I feel like a 'kid' and want to run up to you,

Well, first, no... I just can't bring myself to do it either... although I DID cut pieces to make my 'boiled wool jacket' about two years ago. Second,... you're more polite than I... you used 'vomit'... I originally was going to say... P U K E

Hugs, Noreen

Hugs, Kather> Well, first, no... I just can't bring myself to do it either...

I debated HURL *and* RALPH, lol! Noreen

My personal favorite used to be *barf*, until the infamous dinner with the Chinese government muckamuckas. Now lots of folks in my circle call it "doing the bush".

How appropriate!

Katherine

"Wooly" puked out the following

ROTFLMAO! And. so highly appropriate, too! Noreen

About Changing names i was born with one Marion, but everybody calls me Mirjam , And all my Official papers are Marion , sometimes i have to remember they call my name ,, now some papers are Marion [mirjam ] But none of this is my choice ,,, in 1950 , when we came to Israel , the Kibboets people said Marion wasn`t Hebrew Enough ,,, thus they decided to call me Mirjam, which wasn`t so good for my mother who lost her sister one of whom was called Mirjam.... Some of My Dutch family continued to call me Marion . If you ask me which i prffer , i don`t know , whatever people like to call me. mirjam marion

That definitely takes more nerve than I have, Mirjam! Enjoy your trip. When will you be leaving?

Kather> Katherine i remember the First time i had to cut my own woven cloth ,
