I was almost done with this post…when my fingers went flying crazy…bingo the post was gone! So, we begin again…..
I was recently reviewing the June 2009 issue of Knit’N Style and was enlightened by Margaret Radcliffe’s wonderful article “Learn to Seam without Sewing“. For those of us who are knitting afghans that need to be seamed together…and more specifically to those of us who are knitting “The Great American Afghan” either independently or with our Afghan Block Party knitalong, Radcliffe offers great tips. To quote, “Take Control! Crochet, three-needle bind off, or knitting on as you go are just a few of the alternatives to sewing seams in your knitting.” I would encourage you to get a hold of that article – great techniques!
I am now dreaming of how smooth the finishing of my afghan will be. While searching for links regarding this afghan, I came upon a site, The Rainey Sisters, that has an alternative edging to the afghan that appeals to me. Indeed, the internet opens up a world of endless possibilities for us.
This is a super cool blog!!!! Much luck with it, Carolyn! I see I am on your blogroll – but the name of my blog is “Bead One, Pray Too.” Can you fix? And can you add Kimberly’sCraftini??? I’ll add you to my blogroll, too. HOW COOL!
Thanks Kimberly! And duh, I know it’s Bead One, Pray Too….but clearly my brain or fingers went on their merry way! I will add your other site. Will you check it out and see if I’ve got it right? xo
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Thank you!
