So please continue to love knitting, despite seaming and setting in sleeves. <br /><br />I suggest you start talking to your knitting and tell it how much you love it. Otherwise it'll get envious of all the sewing machines in your crafts room and decide to be all set-in sleeves, all the time. And summer tweed.Wollguthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09194636886667023016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-67293167155062127052010-07-22T18:18:06.584-07:002010-07-22T18:18:06.584-07:00Yeah, I only sweaters that can be done in one piec...Yeah, I only sweaters that can be done in one piece, too (pretty much) b/c of the seaming issue. Personally, I dislike knitting with Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool, even though it is lovely yarn that gives a beautiful fabric. It is coarse and has no give. Of course, I have 2000 yards of it intended for a sweater...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-82650936545268338112010-07-22T17:39:53.549-07:002010-07-22T17:39:53.549-07:00I'm very lucky - if I whine enough and give he...I'm very lucky - if I whine enough and give her that "but pleeeeeeeeeeze" cutsy face, she'll seam for me.

The Hey Teach I started last summer is half finished and sitting in a bag. I just finished a cami that was knit flat, with straps made separately and sewn on - 4 pcs. total. It also had a picot hem. Loved the knitting, but the finishing took forever and a day. From now on, no matter how cute the design, if it isn't seamless - Forget it!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516529307507668142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-44908016684794676012010-07-22T17:04:18.588-07:002010-07-22T17:04:18.588-07:00I try to pretend hard- really hard- that I like se...I try to pretend hard- really hard- that I like sewing pieces together. It's easier when it's straight lines (like afghan squares) not so easy when it's a sweater. When it's a sweater, I have a little more success if I commit to the fact that it does not have to be and is not going to be perfect. Then if it turns out not to have any gaping holes or uneven ends, I call it a day.<br /><br />I feel your pain~ too bad you can't use one of those SEVEN sewing machines for this job. Now THAT would be a mighty fine invention!sophannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571217197138831872noreply@blogger.com
