I’ve consulted books and videos, but I cannot figure out how to hide the seam of where the two colors are stitched together. It would bother be so much if this weren’t a scarf and had to look good on both sides. Please help!
:shrug:
It’s just going to show on purl sts on the RS, that’s how the interweaving of the yarn works.
But how do I make the knitting look seamless?
How do you mean `seamless’?
That usually means without sewing up and I don’t think you’re going to sew it.
Seamless. Like you can’t tell they were stiched together. I’ve been told to weave in the ends over the color changes but I can’t seem to do that were it would look correct.
:verysad:
The ends should be woven in over the same color. I think I’m still not getting it. Do you have a picture.
I wish. I found this pick and this is what I want but do not have.
http://www.mattandjenhoyt.com/oilygeologist/Images/RibbedScarf.JPG It looks like I have one block of white then one row of navy for two stitchs, white for two stitchs and so on then a block of navy then another row of alternating colors. Hard to explain. I wish I could upload a photo. Feeling so frustrated. I’m sorry.
That’s what I thought you meant, though it’s not generally referred to as seamless. You mean you don’t want the color changes to show. On a 2x2 rib scarf, the other color shows on the purl stitches, but not the knit stitches. It might not be so noticeable after a few more inches and the ribbing pulls in a little. Unless there’s some kind of slip stitch, I’m not sure how to avoid it, sorry. A 1x1 rib is a tighter rib and it wouldn’t be as obvious.
Now I can breathe a bit. All of my family keeps saying “maybe its not a ‘knitting community’ problem, it could just be you” Yay! I’m not crazy! Always a good day when the question of my sanity is debunked.
:woohoo:
I learned a trick from The Sweater Workshop about color changes when ribbing. What you do is on the first row of a color change just knit…no purling, and when you come around to the beginning start ribbing again. I was skeptical, but it works!! I’ll post a picture tomorrow.
Oh, that would work. And the one row of knit on the RS wouldn’t be so noticeable in the purl ribs. Not as much as the odd color.
