[Nfb-krafters-korner] Seed Stitch

[Neva Fairchild]

I am using a Cindywood loom, but I do not feel the difference. I think it is
very much like a KK loom.  


Be kind, always. It is the most important rule of man; be kind in all
things. Anger steals your joy, fear steals your heart, worry steals your
life. But, in kindness there is never a fault...Steve Carter

If you are using the Knifty Knitter Loom when doing this, you can tell what
stitch you have just completed by feeling the right side of the peg.  On
stitches you have purled, you will feel the yarn pulling toward the peg next
to it.  On the pegs that you have knitted, the yarn will not pull and it
will be behind the peg.

Hope this helps!

Neva,

I am reading and responding, so hope some one else hasn't answered your
question already.

I am having the same exact problem! it drives me nuts! I am constantly
muttering knit purl, knit purl as I count to remember where I was.

The only solution I know of is easier than what you are doing. when I begin
with a knit and end with a knit row, I am always going clockwise around my
loom. So if I am going that way and get distracted I touch each peg from
either end, muttering knit purl, till I get to where I am. Alternatively,
when I begin and end a row with a purl I am always knitting
counter-clockwise around my loom. So I mutter purl knit and touch pegs till
I get to my place. this method is still a pain in the neck, but at least you
need not take out stitches. 

Cathy
