[Nfb-krafters-korner] seed stitch

[Neva Fairchild]

Fortunately, or unfortunately in this case, with the loom the yarn is always
in front of the peg. For me, once the stitch is done, I cannot tell by touch
which it was, knit or pearl, so I am not sure which to do next. I can solve
the problem by going back to the first peg and saying, knit, pearl, on each
peg until I get to the peg I am on, but even then sometimes I get distracted
and have to start over. It's taxing my brain power to the limit right now.
Of course, that doesn't take much. I don't know how far I have left to go,
but it's more than half way and if the TV is on, or I am reading a book, or
visiting with someone, I get confused easily. I will muddle through and this
is going to be the fanciest scarf at the North Pole!

Hi,
Now, I am no expert, but it seems to me that if your yarn is in the front of
your needle you have just finished the pearl. If the yarn is happily coming
from the back of the needle you just finished the knit. the only thing to
remember now is to finish all three of any stitch. That is if you are doing
three knit and three pearl.
