When knitting a garment, do you usually slip the first stitch? Someone told me that this screws things up when it comes to seaming- is this true?
I hate those loose first stitches!!
Slipping the first stitch?
Since you seam in the stitch one in from the edge, you don’s screw up the seaming. I don’t slip the first stitch unless it’s a scarf or something that isn’t seamed, but there’s no real reason not to.
If you don’t want to slip it, you could just pull tighter tension on the first stitch. That’s what I do.
