Go to bed!!! Never seam (or do any other job you hate) when you are tired. Look at it with fresh eyes in the morning!!!! Now TO BED WITH YOU!!!!

I second Bobbi. Go to bed! Things will look a lot better and you can concentrate better after you’ve slept. :-)

Well, you have since gone to bed I assume. Having some more light and a fresh head will help. Not sure what the “invisible” seam is. Is it like mattress stitch or whatever? I assume it is, if so, the hints I have been given are, start at the top, work your way to the underarm. Then stop, go back and do the other side. Erg. My wording makes no sense. I think I need sleep.

Rested eyes and great light are absolute musts for seaming. The other thing that I’ve found really, really helps are these little things called Knit Clips. You use them to clip the garment together so that you know exactly how the thing is going to fit together. (In a pinch, you can also use the small hair clips.)

I feel your pain. Have you ever tried a crochet seam? I just discovered it and it seems to me so much easier and so much better-looking as a way to join a cap sleeve to a sweater body. You just line it up on the wrong side and chain-stitch with the crochet hook. I’ve only done one so far and it looks MUCH better than all my other sweaters.

Anyway, hope you are feeling better about it, one way or another.

Do you have a copy of Knitter’s Companion? I think she does a good job illustrating seaming (in all directions).
Sleep is helpful, too.

I would just slip-stitch them. The mum wouldn’t know the difference…

Sorry I didn’t see this sooner, but I’d've just said what the others did: sleep on it, and try again with fresh eyes. So, how’d it go?

*hugs* simple seams is what it’s all about. the vogue ultimate knitting book has some great how-to’s on seaming.
