Knitting SOS

[zoje_george]

The fabulous seriouspenguin is having some issues, calling all knitting experts to help her out please!

I've asked her to unlock the post in case you're not on her f'list, and if you're not now's a great time to make the acquaintance of one of the best people you'll ever meet in your life.

...And the great irony is that seriouspenguin doesn't allow non-friends to post comments on her post, even if we can't read it! Argh. Well, will you tell her to come here and read my reply? Here 'tis:

To seriouspenguin:

As regards the seams, you might take a look at a book called The Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques by Nancie M. Wiseman. It's the best instructions for, well, pretty much everything knit-wise I've seen. It has separate instructions for seaming together garter and stockinette in a variety of angles, including garter to garter, both upright

I have pointed her in this direction and in the error of her ways. Hee!

Sorry, sorry! I set it up so long ago, I had forgotten how I'd locked things up. I have it fixed now (I think so, anyway.)

chesire_c: Thanks so much for the book rec and the seaming advice! And I *heart* Super Bear!

Your embroidery idea makes good sense to me, as well; I'll have to try that on Bear #2.

Again, sorry to ask for advice and then make it so difficult to give it... *smacks head on desk*.

S'okay. We still managed to communicate (albeit round-about-ly) and I got to do one of my favorite things, which is explain stuff. :-)

And thank you -- I had a lot of fun making SB and from the response I've got, I should make a million an' sell them!
