Oh if you are like me right when you start to finish a project you just want to be done with it. The excitement of creating a new item (or the feeling of thank goodness I can put this one to rest) sometimes makes you just want to through caution to the wind and finish it up any old way. I hate to have things around that I know that there are flaws that can be seen. Every time I touch the item I know that I could have done better. So with a little time and effort you can make your garment one that you can be proud. Now I first learned to knit in Ireland! A wonderful knitter named Debbie Bliss was just coming into her own and I had the good fortune of having a wonderful husband who made trips to London every month. Armed with pound in hand he would like clock work travel to where her shop was and purchase books and yarn by the dozens. Being extra nice he would always ask her to autograph the books that she authored. This technique was taken out of her Debbie Bliss How To Knit Book for a more detailed version of this finishing tip you will want to refer to page 150.
Working up the garment in a zigzag action taking the needle under the strands that correspond exactly to those on the other side, you can create an invisible seam.
