You are a brave brave man. I have yet to try steeking. I guess I can't really call myself a knitter until I do, but the idea of putting shears to knitting freaks me out!
I know people do this everyday, but I just can't bear watch. (I am also the kind of meat eater who doesn't like to think about how it gets to my plate. At least I am "consistently hypocritical.")
Where can I learn this steeking??! I can't bear to sew the seams of sweater #1. Should have known since I've always loathed the hand sewing part of sewing. I'm intrigued and fascinated!
Cutting scares me so much. I need to steak my friends sweater which I made a million times too big (because there is no way I am tearing the whole thing out). I think it won't scare me so much once I've actually done it . . .
I've never seen steeks with that ridge effect. Is this your own thing or did you learn about it somewhere. Does it make things easier to finish with the ridge?
I am a Watson and definitely not ready for steeking!! In all my years of knitting I have never tried it but will need to on Autumn Rose that I am knitting and feel very nervous about it all. The vest looks marvelous and I love the colours.
mmm, pretty steek spines.
ReplyDeleteEek! I can't look! It's not that I don't trust you can do it...cutting knitting just scares the bejeebus outta me. Lookin' good!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think I pee'd myself.
ReplyDeleteYou. Are. Fearless.
I need to lay down now. Thanks for the adrenaline rush.

ReplyDeleteTalk about a cliffhanger!

ReplyDeleteI tried steeking once in high school; I did inhale. Still holding my breath.
