Knitting in the Daytime (KIND)

At our September 19th program for KIND, Kate Wilson will teach us the Finchley Graft. This is a much easier alternative to the Kitchener stitch for grafting two pieces together. The homework for the program is as follows:

HOMEWORK

Materials: 2 swatches (directions below) using a smooth worsted-weight yarn, and a tapestry needle. I found that a straight needle was easier than using the type with a bent tip.

Make 2 swatches.
For each swatch, cast on 10 stitches and knit in stockinette stitch for about 2” ending with a knit row. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail about 10” long. Leave the stitches on the needle.

If you don’t have two sets of needles the same size, after finishing the first swatch, slide the finished swatch onto a smaller size needle to free up your needles for the second swatch.
