If I had known I would have so much trouble, I would have just knit back and forth. There really is no reason to steek this except to avoid purling.

steeking is a technique best used in knitting ...Hi,<br />steeking is a technique best used in knitting with wool and best known in Fair Isle knitting or similar, just to have a knitting in the round when dealing with more than one colour/thread.<br /><br />There are enthusiasts, thoug. Look at the green sweater of EZ, where there is no actual need of steeking - and im my opinion absoulutely no adavantage or sense in it- , but she did it obviously to avoid purling.<br /><br />If you have questions, drop me pm.mazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390654249995714349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253341073953392729.post-89028481050222816422010-01-31T22:08:46.349-08:002010-01-31T22:08:46.349-08:00Hi Jill, I have not done these myself, but there i...Hi Jill, I have not done these myself, but there is a lot written about the method on Wendy Johnson's site:<br />http://wendyknits.net/<br /><br />Type in steeks in her search box and you'll get quite a few results.<br /><br />Good luck with this; too intimidating for me, but love the look the method produces. <br /><br />I seem to recall the Yarn Harlot and Grumperina also writing about how to work with steeks.peacockmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204973238075173076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253341073953392729.post-30628400994109154742010-01-31T20:20:33.133-08:002010-01-31T20:20:33.133-08:00I've never actually steeked before, but are yo...I've never actually steeked before, but are you using wool or not? I heard if you aren't using a really grabby yarn like wool, you actually have to reinforce your steek with a sewing machine before you try to do it.<br /><br />Also I heard fair isle stays together better than just normal knitting.Calophihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323684949228610603noreply@blogger.com
