I never understood this war between continental and English method knitters. Surely the way we knit is completely irrelevant, shouldn’t we just be happy to have the opportunity to meet like-minded people who share our love for craft?
The same goes with the big no-nos about finishing your knitted garment. You must never machine sew your pieces together…..why not?! Did I ever have a garment with all pieces knitted and really wanted to wear it that day, but no time to hand sew it together? Did I use sewing machine? Yes and yes!! Will I do it again……Hell Yes!! In fact my ‘Cool’ sweater from Kim Hargreaves’s ‘Spirit’ book is sew together on a machine and it looks very nice, if I may say so myself.
So my lovelies hold your needles and yarn proudly and knit on…whichever way you choose!!
Well that’s the end of my rant….I do feel a lot better.
Thank you for reading.

If you saw the way I knit you'd smile. But I can knit (my way) and do make things and that's the main thing oh and it makes me happy knitting and friends love my finished pieces xx
Thank you! Sometimes I want to give up on knitting because I am not doing it \”right\”. I too am a thrower, I have tried to change but it is not comfortable to me. On a side note, I have been rereading Murder at the Vicarage and thinking of You. Cant wait to see your knitting on the television!
Knit how you wish! No right or wrong way, but don't ever give up 🙂 The episode of Miss Marple was already on, it was the 'Greenshawl's Folly', below is a link to my blog, that has pics of Miss Marple knitting my sleeves 🙂 xxhttp://moochkauk.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/miss-marple.html
That's the most important thing!! No one should care how you kit as long as you enjoy it 🙂 xx
