I love seed stitch. I love the way it looks and the way it feels. I will change garter stitch on patterns and turn it into seed stitch. There is just one small problem, I do not love knitting it. I don't even like knitting it. I have 2 1/2" to knit in fingering weight. A couple of rounds a day. I know it will be worth it.
Seed stitch can drive a person batty but it is indeed lovely. I've heard it's easier if you knit continental ( I knit English) but I've never had the patience to get really good at it. I suspect I'll be a 'thrower' forever but I believe you when you say it will be worth it. Keep on keepin' on!
ReplyDeleteI love the look and texture of seed stitch too, but it can be a right pain in the backside if you have a fair amount of it to knit.......lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I hate knitting seed stitch, but gee it is pretty :-)
ReplyDeleteI love seed stitch. It looks so pretty. Since starting to knit in the combined style I have found seed stitch and 1x1 ribbing much easier.
ReplyDeleteKeep going...it will be worth it. I'm getting back into knitting machine mode with the cooler weather approaching.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is gorgeous indeed!
