kitchener fail, part two: now with pictures!

[geeksdoitbetter]

here's the promised pic of my kitchener fail

this is actually a pic of the *second* fail that happened over the weekend!

argh!

i totally paid attention this time: knit my knits and purled my purls

still, fail

after poking around the 'net this morning, i realize that many folks work their kitchener steps differently than i do*

i can't account for the half dozen properly seamed toes i've managed in the past using my method, but since it's failed me twice in a row, i'll certainly be trying someone else's next time


*since my method's proven unreliable, i'm choosing not to post it here lest some unwary knitter breeze this post and be lead astray

The knitty article is what I tend to use for reference. I have a detailed tutorial from a pattern I purchased -it's the same thing, but I think the knitty directions are written out a little more clearly.

I would bet somewhere between the toes that worked right and this toe you lost a step or so. I've done that in the past "I know how to do this, la la la...wait...o_O" :D

Good luck on the next one! You'll have to let us know how it works out for you.

~nods~ that make sense (losing a bit of the directions that were successful)

i've made myself a new lil note card, clearly labeling the "2 set up steps" referenced in the knitty article
