[Nfb-krafters-korner] Kitchener's Stitch How-To.

[linda]

That is how I do the kitchener.  I do not like sewing my knitted items
because I feel I do a poor job and ruin an otherwise beautifully knitted
project.  I used to sew all my own clothes, but no more.  I like the
kitchner because you are sewing live stitches and not trying to find the
stitch in the yarn fabric.

Blessings,

Kitchener is like sewing.  If you are to take a stitch off the
knitting needle you insert either knit or purlwise, slip stitch off
knitting needle and pull snuggly on the tail end of the yarn until it
tightenes the stitch.
I hate kitchener, not because its to difficult but because mine never
comes out cleanly.
