result I've been seaming and finishing my dye lot disaster, grafting rescue design and in all the try-ons, I didn't once notice the grafting line or even remember to look for signs of it. All's well that ends up well grafted, I say.

I'm impressed! And can't wait for the July issue.... Posted by: Frarochvia at June 15, 2006 11:14 AMWords to live by. Stellar save I say. Posted by: Julia at June 15, 2006 11:16 AMYour designs are always great! I just flipped through a copy of Big Girl Knits and saw your knit pants design,COOOL Posted by: Kathy at June 15, 2006 11:18 AMWoo-hoo! Posted by: Chris at June 15, 2006 11:55 AMOh, forgot to include that it looks lovely and if the graft line is in that picture, it's definitely not detectable. Posted by: Chris at June 15, 2006 11:55 AMNanette Blanchard (knittingincolor.blogspot.com) had a great post about this awhile back. She said she knew she was a real knitter when she went to cut a steek and she accidentally cut through both layers of the garment...and she just fixed it. That's a whole new bridge for me to cross (coming soon, I'm sure), but I'm sure it must be satisfying in some weird way.

I still haven't mastered grafting to the degree where it's invisible - I think it has something to do with the fact that I get really stressed out by it that it usually takes a couple tries to remember the rhythm of it. =) By that time my tension is miles tighter than the rest of the project. Posted by: mote at June 15, 2006 12:33 PMImpressive! You've got some skill there. Posted by: elizabeth at June 15, 2006 1:15 PMHow tempting! I can't wait to see the design! :) Posted by: Darcy at June 15, 2006 2:39 PMGrafting is my personal version of hell. You are really good at it! I wish I had your gift... Posted by: mia at June 15, 2006 5:59 PMWow!! It looks totally wonderful. You did good. :) Posted by: Samantha at June 15, 2006 7:53 PMThat peek looks great. I am looking forward to magknits July.
