    Could anyone give me any tips on "how to join seams neatly" please!

    I like knitting but hate sewing up afterwards as it never looks quite right, what stitch is best etc

    thanks :D

    Alliyo - there are lots of tips for sewing up knitting here http://www.knitting-naturally.com/sewing-up-your-knitting.html

    Every knitter I know hates the sewing-up bit, so you're not alone!

    I know it's normally thought of as a womens thing, but i've been leaning to knit.
    I don't want to blow my own trumpet but i think i'm pretty good.
    The thing is.......i've not learnt to cast off yet.
    So if anybody knows someone who may like to buy a scarf that's 196 foot long, perhaps you could put me in touch.
