Episode 14 - Going To The Mattresses

The discussion focuses on the techniques for building a better seam. We focus on the mattress stitch and selvadge edges. A good tutorial on mattress weaving is one from knitty.com and also a tutorial by Dawn from The Virtual Sanity .

I also review the book by Nancy Bush, Knitting Vintage Socks , and focus on one particular pattern, the Madder Ribbed Sock since I have started a sock fancied around that pattern with Jawoll Aktion 2007 yarn. I mentioned two books for finishing:

1) Finishing Techniques For Hand Knitters by Sharon Brant.
2) The Knitter’s Book of Finishing Techqniques by Nancie Wiseman.

The song in this Episode is entitled “My Planet” by Lark Wiskey , courtesy of the podsafe music network.
