I'm right there with you, Teresa,

Kitchner stitch, also called grafting stitch, is a method of sewing seams
together from live stitches - like we did with the 3-needle bind-off.  The
difference is that instead of using a knitting needle, you use a large eyed
blunt needle an pick up and remove the live stitches in a particular
sequence and the end result is invisible.  In theory, any way (smile)!

I had tried doing the kitchner when I was practicing my double circ and
magic loop techniques.  I did not do too well then, however I have looked up
tutorials on it and last night I did it and it is almost invisible.   I gave
the two cloths to my daughter and asked her which one she liked best.  She
picked the kitchner.  The seam is flat and the stitches appear to be knit or
woven together.

If you want, contact me off list and I'll walk you through it.  I think you
will like it.  Always good to have a variety of tricks in your bag -
something for every occasion! 

Blessings, 
Ninn

What is the kitchner stich? This newbie to knitting is still tackling the 3 
needle bind off. I love having the skill and will keep working at it.....but

curious at other ways to sew together other then sewing....big smile!
