I hate seaming as well, which is why I apparently have this block to actually peicing said garment,,,sigh….My BBS is also un-sewn(word?).

Ooo… you sound like me with seaming. I’ve decided that, after my first sweater, I’m going to do anything that can be done on circulars on circulars. Minimal seaming = maximum awesomeness!

What’s up with leaving us in suspense?

The only seaming I have done in the past has been pretty utilitarian (read: ugly). No matter how many times I’ve read about it in books or magazine articles, I just haven’t gotten it. Fortunately, my LYSO needed a Ravelry “class” and since I seemed to be the most active Raveler in her shop, she and I bartered a lesson on Ravelry for a lesson on seaming…which I’ll be taking as soon as I finish my NBaT.

Thanks for the heads up on the blog contest–they’ve got a colorway I’ve been drooling over for awhile, and I’m feeling my willpower slip away…

I didn’t really understand seaming until I took a class. When she showed us mattress stitch, it was like a light went on! It made the whole class worth it. So, find someone to show you mattress stitch .

That being said, I still dislike sewing my pieces together.
