Need help with an instruction!

ok thanks! and another question...

im supposed to have an even amount of stitches, but for some reason the on one of the stitch holders i have 12 and the back stitch holder i have 13. (these are the two sets that i am going to graft). shall i add an extra stitch to one of them to make both 13? and if so, which method do i use??

Thanks once again

is it known as twisted loop cast on?

[salmonmac]

I would decrease the number of sts on the holder that has one extra rather than increase one at this stage. If you do the 3 needle bind off you can k2tog at the same time as you are doing the bind off.

thanks for that.

next question:

i have made a hood and it says fold it in half and join the back shaped edges to form back seam. what method shall i use to join the edges...?

[qwerty]

Ok guys. I have an urgent question. Im finishing on sewing teh two edges of my hood together. But i dont have a long enought tail on the hood to start sewing with. What is the best method to attach a new yarn/thread to start the sewing process. i have searche dthis forum but cant find it...please help...

u have all been so useful! Thanks you!!!

[suzeeq]

You could just weave in the tail of the yarn that's attached, then take a new strand for sewing it up, just leave a long enough tail to weave that in when you're done too.

[qwerty]

erm.....there is no tail attached...thats the thing...

[suzeeq]

Oh, I guess I misread that. Then just leave a tail so you can weave it in later and sew the hood on; you don't have to actually 'attach' yarn when you start using a new end, just leave it loose.

[qwerty]

ah ok brilliant thanks

[qwerty]

so im now attaching the hood to the neck edge of the jacket. what is the best method to use here??
