Re garter stitch: is the slipped stitch seam the same as EZ's "phoney" seam? She describes a sort of slipped stitch seam to stabilize garter stitch. It sounds great to me! This subject brings up a question for me. I know what a very experienced knitter you are but in a class I took once Jared Flood passed around his garter stitch Cobblestone with no seams and it was almost rigid. No lack of stability there. But he used a very firm rustic yarn, I think and I also think his gauge was very firm too. At least it appeared to be. Class time was tight so I couldn't ask him about that. But I'm inclined to think, per your advice, that in most cases a slipped stitch or real seam is very wise, particularly with softer yarns. Thanks for that tip and any more thoughts on this would be very appreciated. Thanks!
