Kitchener Stitch



I am nearly up to joining the shoulder seams on my Abalone cardigan!  And thanks to videos such as this found on YouTube I know I can do it, Hurrah!  This knit is going to be the BEST thing I have made yet, and it is for me!  Am I excited*?  You bet! 

I have another quiet night of knitting planned this evening!

Dunks on Ravelry linked this easy graft tutorial as another way to do it too.

 
*I am not excited about the miles of garter border or picking up 1 million stitches so I can do it, but you can't have everything, and I will be excited to be able to wear it.
