Seaming has been something I have feared and never learned! It is so important that it looks good. I recently sorted through my entire stash, and I found two sweaters that were finished except for seaming! This video was a great start to giving it a try. I think your sweater club would be fantastic!
I want to be team seam, maybe there is hope for me now! Thank you!!❤ How did you learn to do these? I seamed a sweater from a magazine pattern (in a group from my library). I joined to find a mentor, but was the only one who finished the sweater. Seaming was a crap shoot, but by perhaps the grace of God, it ended up good. Lol, the group leader thought I was a super fast knitter. I think I just worked on it daily, and I am both a process and product knitter (is there such a thing? I am an introvert- extrovert, so I am thinking, yes). The zip, in the seam to row, was mesmerizing to me!
You are so welcome! I learned after years of trial and error. I own a yarn store and have had the pleasure of mentoring hundreds of knitters through the process ❤️ if you are still looking for a mentor and a supportive group, I would be honored to have you in Club Crazy for Ewe!
Am I the only who didn't know about the figure 8 beginning?! Despite many years of knitting, I learnt something new today. Thank you so much. I would like to see your techniques for doing edge to edge if there is interest in that subject.
@@CrazyForEwe That sounds right. I do all of those methods but I don't really know what I am doing. I spend a lot of time experimenting, messing about, and figuring out which method looks best for each project. No wonder I have a basket of UFOs (unfinished objects). I usually use 3 needle bind off for the shoulders, and pick up sleeve stitches top down from dropped shoulders.
Brilliant. I have always pulled yarn up between 2 bars in stockinet. I will try your method in future. Love the garter stitch seaming.
Both work, but I think the single bar method looks better

Wonderful! Sign up for the waitlist! We open this month!!
Very helpful to see the live presentation. Thank you.🐑
Glad it was helpful!
I was seaming on a baby sweater did really well until the sleeve which was stair steps.
Was that where you had the increases?
@@CrazyForEwe It was where I had cast off on the front and back for sleeve.
@loretta9213 ah, yes, I see
Thanks for the good information
You are so welcome!

I’m so glad it was helpful. I do have a full video and a short on stitch to stitch-is that what you mean?
@@CrazyForEwe I mean stitching the edge stitches together instead of stitching from one line of stitches in which makes a seam.
i think you might be talking about a slip stitch seam. I always do mattress stitch one or one half stitch in because it makes a neat invisible seam.

Do you have a video showing how to avoid the step down bindoff?
I think i do. Lemme check
