thought i'd write about knitting a nice neat edge on an item, this is new to me & only read of it since finding Rhondas' blog & forum. there are a few who do this & i'm a new convert, it takes a conscious effort i must admit as i've knitted without for 30 odd years & breaking this habit is taking a bit of doing, even getting the odd headache but the result is well worth it!
been practicing on the mittens i do on the straights, certainly makes sewing the seams up less painful lol.

| see the nice smooth edge? |
am quite pleased with the smoothness of the edge, i know it doesn't look like much in the photos but it does make a big difference or am hoping it will to the look of the finished garment, which i hope to show you soon.
been warm here & really looks like spring has sprung early, hope everyone is having a good week, keeping cool or warm in your part of the world
thanx for visiting
I have been doing this for a while too, Selina. It certainly makes a difference but as you said it takes a while for it to become second nature while you are knitting. Am looking forward to the finished pic.
