You’ll learn grafting techniques to unite stockinette, seed and garter stitches, making your fabric flow. Anne demonstrates how to graft (Kitchener stitch) an invisible join with lace-weight knits, and across cables and ribbing. Knit along with Anne as she teaches you “The Song of the Knitting Graft,” which will help you remember where to knit and when to purl. In no time you’ll be tucking toe ends together, attaching edgings and aligning infinity scarf ends!

Certificate?

I knit continental as a right handed person would and that works. BUT as a leftie I find it really hard to hold a tapestry needle in my right hand. What about grafting with the needle in your left hand. How does that work? I can find lots of examples where people actually knit "backward" but that isn't me. My yarn and rows end up where a right handed person's would.Thanks

OMG....thank you, thank you, thank you Anne. This is exactly what I've been after. Once again you prove that you're way ahead of other knitting instructors. Clear, concise and clever instructions. 💗
