Seaming has been something I have feared and never learned! It is so important that it looks good. I recently sorted through my entire stash, and I found two sweaters that were finished except for seaming! This video was a great start to giving it a try. I think your sweater club would be fantastic!

Brilliant. I have always pulled yarn up between 2 bars in stockinet. I will try your method in future. Love the garter stitch seaming.

Am I the only who didn't know about the figure 8 beginning?! Despite many years of knitting, I learnt something new today. Thank you so much. I would like to see your techniques for doing edge to edge if there is interest in that subject.

I want to be team seam, maybe there is hope for me now! Thank you!!❤

How did you learn to do these?

I seamed a sweater from a magazine pattern (in a group from my library). I joined to find a mentor, but was the only one who finished the sweater. Seaming was a crap shoot, but by perhaps the grace of God, it ended up good. Lol, the group leader thought I was a super fast knitter. I think I just worked on it daily, and I am both a process and product knitter (is there such a thing? I am an introvert- extrovert, so I am thinking, yes).

The zip, in the seam to row, was mesmerizing to me!

I was seaming on a baby sweater did really well until the sleeve which was stair steps.
