A confession about SAYG

A lightbulb moment

May 2021

 
 

I have to confess ...
I've never been a fan of sew-as-you-go (SAYG)
I've never understood why some knitters will do ANYTHING to keep from sewing up seams. BUT ......

I was browsing through a vintage pattern book and stumbled on this technique.  Instead of joining the edge stitches, hang the edge of the piece to join 3 needles in from the knitting in work. Watch the video

This creates a decorative,"felled" seam (picture a blue jeans seam)

In time for fall knitting
