Alex, it would have taken much longer to re-knit as i would have had to take the collar off, the sleeves off, and then that would have involved having to do the raglan seams again. Its actually fairly straight forward when you get into the swing of it. Hi Maureen - no its not mattress stitch, thats only used for seaming. Grafting I suppose is more like Kitchener stitch, you are literally sewing in a row of normal knitting to join the pieces together. I believe its also the same as swiss darning or duplicate stitch. I didnt think I would have the patience for it Susan, but i made myself do it, and Im glad i did. It wasnt that difficult and I felt very plased with myself afterwards :-)Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860517086343995506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229421856487418711.post-9896088626551936332011-09-08T00:05:02.318-07:002011-09-08T00:05:02.318-07:00I wouldn't have had the patience to do that, I...I wouldn't have had the patience to do that, I'd have re-knit it. If I'd tried to graft it you would definitely have seen the join.<br />You did a good job there, Phil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229421856487418711.post-13468648444790102902011-09-07T18:46:12.068-07:002011-09-07T18:46:12.068-07:00That is so clever.
