[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Edge for knit throw

[Jeanette Kutash]

If I am doing seed on the side borders, I tend to use it for the top and
bottom. It will enhance your feather and fan.

I am not a knitter, but I think of an afghan like a picture frame that shows
off the beauty of the stitches. Seed stitch would show off the beauty of the
feather and fan on the stockenett so much better.

I'd welcome some opinions.

I'm knitting a throw, which will be rectangular.  I'm knitting the top bit
in a wavy pattern, which is Feather and Fan on a stockinette base.  Someone
here posted it as part of a pattern, and it's nice.  I'll probably put it on
the bottom edge, too.

I've made the sides of the throw in seed stitch for 6 stitches.  I'm
debating making the top edge in garter stitch for maybe 3 inches, or
sticking with seed stitch for 6 rows.  I'm thinking a bit of garter might
make the top stay better where a person puts it, say, if she wants to sit
with it pulled up around her shoulders or something like that. 

I have a shawl like that, and the garter does make it stay put, but it has
maybe 12 inches of garter, and I don't want more than say 3.

What do you knitters think?

Tracy
