Me, knitting

I’ve tried the Kitchener Stitch. It’s ok, but to be honest, I thought it was a bit messy. If you don’t have any equipment such as tapestry needles and/or no patience and/or no talent, this might work for you: My Mum’s Stitch!

My mum learned this in school as a tiny girl with lovely blond curls, knitting under the beady eye of her horrible teacher. Teach did a good job though, because my mum can still remember!

Here’s what you do: make sure you have decreased the toe as far as you want and you’re ready to start grafting.

• Turn the sock inside out.
• Make sure you have an even number of stitches and simply knit them together! It’s easy as pie (especially when you see the video
• If you haven’t got an equal number of stitches, simply knit two together.

And then to wrap it up:

• Knit one stitch,
• knit another one and slip the first one over the second one, off the needle (again, once you see the video you’ll get what I mean).
• Keep doing it, ’til you reach the end.
