About Samantha Hilver
Expertise
I can answer any questions related to hand knitting. I'm very familiar with all sorts of stitches and techniques and can help troubleshoot or get you through sticky spots when it comes to figuring out a pattern or figuring out how to write your own.

Experience
I've been knitting since the seventh grade and although I'm perfectly capable of following a pattern I prefer to free-style most of my work.

Education/Credentials
I've taught myself how to knit from countless library and second-hand books and help from friends and relatives, but I've never taken a knitting class.

Knitting - how to graft ribbed stitching (live stitches)


Expert: Samantha Hilver - 10/27/2009

Question
Do you know how to graft 1X1 ribbing stitches together? I cut off the short white brim of a hat I am making my teen and left the black part on needles while I knit up a longer brim. Now I can'
t figure out how to graft the ribbing stitches together! I am an adventuresome knitter and would like to know how to do this rather than the easier solution of reknitting the whole dang thing!
Thanks for any suggestions.
Sarah

Answer
Hey Sarah!
you mean attach a new piece of knitting to an old piece? pick up and knit? I'm unclear on what you're asking me but I think this could help. It's a great tutorial I found recently on stitched: http://www.stitchdiva.com/custom.aspx?id=183

have fun!
Sam
