A New Skill: Day 4 of Knit and Crochet Blog Week

Is there a skill related to your hobby that you hope to learn one day? This is today's question for Knit and Crochet Blog Week.

My answer is steeks! I want to acquire a skill to cut my knitting! This is a technique I want  to learn so I can knit anyone of  Alice Starmore's Norwegian Fishermen Sweaters.


Like this one knit expertly by Oliphaunt Knits.



A steek is a method for putting sleeves into a sweater knit in the round by cutting the openings for the armholes into the completed knitting.

For those of you who may not know what a steek is you can read this explanation on wikipedia.

There are some good tutorials out there about steeking like Wendy Johnson's at Knitty.

Any steekers out there?



Happy blogging!
