Was Jen using the modern meaning of "seam" or the older meaning of a place where a line of purls indicated a location, such as at the back of a stocking? Motifs not matching doesn't require a sewn seam, just a place where they started designs over again. Fairisle work often has a line of knots tied at the edge where new colors were begun, but even that doesn't indicate sewing, because that was done on socks and gloves as well. I'd want to look at all the edges very carefully for any sign of yarns being turned and worked back across a row.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-33644288557841033282017-04-14T14:23:54.422+01:002017-04-14T14:23:54.422+01:00The colors can look so different in situ, so the s...The colors can look so different in situ, so the swatching will be instructive.

She believed in always working with circular needles but the magazines thought that was too hard for their readers. Funny. <br />I hope your Easter holds small joys, Jean.

When you look at the main piece where the other side seam would be, you can see how the motifs don't match up in any way, so that must be a sewn seam. <br />I am itching to start charting up some lozenges and casting on myself, now that I am back where my stash lives.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.com
