casting on steek stitches
Like a dummy I was talking to Matt today about the Fair Isle sweater he is
showing me how to make and forgot to ask him how to cast on the steek stitches. I did an awful job on my first attempt. So how do you cast on steek stitches? I don't use the tail method to cast on (I don't know what it is called). I taught myself how to knit and use the method where you make a slip stitch and then use that stitch to make the next on and so on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Kristine Quilici |
