Finishing Stitches

| ready to graft toe July 2020 |
I enjoy grafting toe stitches with the kitchener stitch. Even though I have the process "mastered," I still avoid distractions while working with the six stitches on each of the circular needles. This week, I grafted the toes on two pair of socks
Pretty yarn. I, too, don't mind Kitchener stitch. I have it memorized, but like you I try to avoid distractions while doing it. Just because I have it memorized is no guarantee....
ReplyDeleteI don't have it memorized and have to watch the video while doing it. I don't make a lot of socks.
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy grafting, but mostly because I know it means I'm done the sock!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind grafting and I like that look and feel over the other ways of closing off the toe. But, like you, I prefer to do it in the quiet with no distractions.
ReplyDeleteI can't graft and admire those who do.
ReplyDeleteThat was just one of several knitting skills I couldn't seem to master. My grandmother was a master at knitting and tried hard to teach me, but it was a lost cause unless it was just a scarf or dish cloth. But she did manage to teach 2 of my cousins, who are now very talented knitters.
ReplyDeleteI too have to look up a video to do the Kitchener stitch. I was just online this morning trying to find a nice purple sock yarn. I want to make a pair of wool socks for my dil as she gets cold easily. What yarn was the one you showed. Is it soft?
ReplyDeletePretty pretty socks Nancy! ! You know me, I only do a three needle inside out bind off on my sock toes. Someone asked if you "feel" the ridge and yes you do a bit, but not much. Im kitchner phobic.
ReplyDeleteNancy, that yarn is so pretty. May I ask what it is? I, too, love to do the kitchener stitch. I love the rhythm you get into with it and the look when you're done.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and a virtual hug,
Betsy
I wrote the K stitch down step by step and follow it...I like to do it with no distractions also! Nice socks! :)
