Seaming test (wool, interlocking/double filet crochet with sc borders)

From top to bottom:

Mattress stitch in back loops

Mattress stitch in third loops

Bickford/ladder stitch in back loops

Bickford/ladder stitch in third loops

First off, I'm appalled to be reminded how much nicer seams look when you do them in third loops (aka back bumps) instead of back loops, because back loops is much faster and much easier.

For a garment or blanket, I think I would opt for the ladder stitch in third loops. I've heard it's weaker than a mattress seam, (and it does not look nice at all worked in back loops, option 3, imo), but I appreciate how the extra slack lets the seam approximate the gauge(s) of the crochet—mattress seams are very taut, and the motifs can slide around and bunch up on them like curtains on a rod, which drives me nuts.

Affirmation of the day: I don’t hate seaming, I will seam this jumper with grace and no swearing, I will not mess up badly enough to have to undo my own work, I will produce a wearable object today.

Seaming materials and what they can potentially be made out of. Text of the image below

Materials

The materials of Seamings can vary greatly. The most common material is flesh, but they can also be created out of metals, fabrics, and other materials such as glass with things inside them, porcelain, and extremely rarely even the magic inside the Seaming can be leaking out. These materials can be mixed and matched across the Seamings body. For the materials it's best to think; what is the purpose of the Seaming? The Seamings purpose would show on their body. Like if they were made to be in a forge they would be made of strong metals.

Seamings hair also follow the same rules. They can also be made out of a variety of materials that can be mixed and matched. The most common is keratin but metals and fabrics are also used. Seamings are very expressive with their bodies and appearance because their forms are very malleable. With help they can customise to their whims.

Is it me, or are baseball stitch, fishbone stitch, and parachute stitch all different names for the same stitch?

Help me out, more experienced knitters!

Is this shoulder seam too tight?

Been working on this for months. And that's months of inspiration, frustration, doubt, lethargy, improvisation, and relief. Making anything is commitment. I'm just glad it's finally done, I don't even wanna block or wash this right now. I just wanna say it's done, and I'm glad I was able to work the pattern for different yarn. #knitting #menwhoknit #nerdyknits #nerdyknitter #nerdyknitting #nerdy #videogames #legendofzelda #knitted #handmade #knit #hoodie #sweater #setinsleeve #seaming #sewing #knittedhoodie #knittedsweater #rowan #yarn #link #nintendo #fishbone #fishbonehoodie #triforce #fashion #fandom #yarn #fairisleknitting #fairisle #strandedknitting (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tSvUQJpPf/?igshid=7haf9f25t39t
