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

It kinda looks like you did it inside out - I was using it to add a convertible top to a pair of fingerless mitts and started getting a line like that. Had to pick it out and hold the top to the glove and kitchener from the other side, so that the line was on the inside where the convertible top would hide it, rather than on the outside where it showed horribly :) (And, yes, I'm sure there's an easier way, but it was what I was doing at that moment{g})

you are right, for some reason, my normal method all of a sudden started producing purl bumps on the front of the work

wacky
