I used your technique the other night and it worked perfectly.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I realy learned a lot from your directions and illustrations.

I do have 1 question. My project is all stockinette stitch (no purl selvage). Which stitch do I pick up on the right and left side? Those are the stiches I use for seaming up my piece.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to finish a project for my granddaughter’s birthday.

Thank you again. Happy Knitting.

This is the best illustration I have seen to date. The photos are great. Thank you. I also am trying to figure out the grafting on a cable knit sweater – only cables on the front.

Hi! I loved your directions. However, I have this problem on a huge poncho which is about five inches too long so that I can’t really add the fringe I want. It’s so wide that to cut and restitch would be very difficult. Is there any way to sew a seam in which I fold right sides together above the bottom edge?

Thanks for your advice.

I also am working on a sweater with cables but I need to shorten the fabric. This is exactly what I was hoping for since I just finished the back (with 8 cables and 8 braids) and discovered it was 5 inches too long, 22″ instead of 17″. Call it cabin fever on a long, snow-bound, week in the woods, I missed the length problem till I was done.
What a blessing that I don’t have to unravel the whole thing!
But how can I figure out the grafting?
Thanks for your great article.

I’m lengthening a finished sweater with cables. I need help in grafting it together again. Any suggestions?
