These are the two who remain. Once upon a time, several years ago, we had six of them, Sally, Dominican, Tigger, Giuseppe, Prince, and Mikey. These are the two we have left.

I know that someone more professional than I could do a better job. That said, when carefully done, the seams really do recede into the garment and don't show very much.

I ALWAYS begin on the inside because it's easier to loop through the larger stitches and skip the knotted ones that form every other row, and then go up the public side.

This is the seaming technique I use on the hats. It might be over kill to do both sides of the work, but if I do the inside first it holds everything in place while I do the outside.

The inside seam is pulled loosely taut if that makes sense and the outside seam is pulled taught. It often happens that it's necessary to pull east and west and then north and south to smooth things out to their best.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone.

Latest batch of hats,  I was so pleased while I was making the pink one, completely unaware that the brown yarn that was in my wool stash was a pretender.  It's acrylic.  I'm sitting back contemplating the solution to this.

Finished the nephew's sweater.  Didn't remember to take a closeup of the flaws.  His father, (my brother) was wowed and requested that I make him a cardigan when I make the one for my Papa.  Both of them want black.  Jim will have cables and I haven't completely decided what to do on Papa's

My cats and dogs.  The pictures aren't very good because of those dadgum lightbulbs they've switched us to but you get the idea.
