But yes I have grafted ribbing by "separating" the knits and purls and grafting them separately.<BR/><BR/>It does work but a lot of work.<BR/><BR/>Cheers >^..^<Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00461795780682851340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-52801741153073546132007-06-16T02:10:00.000+01:002007-06-16T02:10:00.000+01:00Did no one tell you of the "chimney" method?

Using this yarn, knit several rows on the piece to be grafted and then yank off the needles. Now, line up your pieces facing each other. With the grafting yarn, go back and trace the movements of the freaky colored yarn in and out of the pieces to be grafted - then unzip the contrast yarn.....heck. That wasn't very useful.

At a glance, it looks like they have you separate your knits and purls, graft the knits and then turn the work over and graft the knits on the other side.<BR/><BR/>Alas, I fear this info is too late to be of help. <BR/><BR/>Your koigu sweaters are an inspiration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-62066814530896845312007-06-15T10:25:00.000+01:002007-06-15T10:25:00.000+01:00I can't help you with grafting ribbing, but your K...I can't help you with grafting ribbing, but your Koigu designs are stunning!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-16503190790012092192007-06-15T09:02:00.000+01:002007-06-15T09:02:00.000+01:00Well, practice, they say, makes perfect.

Perhaps you just need a better way to conceptualise it.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.com
