Dear community,
which part of crafting do you not like at all? 
Sewing pieces together is often mentioned in this context. How can you make it easier?

Exactly! I don’t like that either. If I pull myself together and weave in those one or two ends right away, it actually goes okay. But if I forget or don’t feel like it, and then I have a zillion threads waiting for me.... *shudder*

I like to knit pieces that don’t require any seaming.
For example, raglan knitted from the top down. Everything is knitted in the round, so there are no seams.

For a jacket with a Norwegian pattern, I’ve also used the steek method before. So, I knitted everything in the round, left a few stitches in the center front for the steek, and later secured them there with a sewing machine, cut them open, folded the edges over, and knitted on the bands. (It took some courage, but it turned out great.)

I also find it best to weave in ends right away by knitting them in inconspicuously as I go.

I really don’t like sewing pieces together. 😩 I’m always worried about ruining a beautifully crocheted or knitted piece.
For knitted pieces that I’ll have to sew together later, I now knit a knot selvedge, which is quite firm. Later I sew them together using backstitch.

Best regards,
Sabine
