Finishing Off work..........

[Crochet Queen]

ughhhhhhhhhhh I hate sewing it all together.

I've taken to slipstitching garments together. Just goes faster for me for some reason. I've also used single crochet to join granny squares; it's a nice decorative effect.

 

But yes, I feel your pain. I love the process of creating, it's just the finishing touches that are annoying.

Now sewing up projects doesn't bother me. It's the tucking all the loose ends that makes me crazy. And I know I should do them as I go, but I just never do. I have actually put off finishing a project for weeks, knowing that all I had to do was tuck in the ends. That's why I won't do any granny square projects!

 

Good luck.

Yep. It can take more time than the crocheting of the project.

Indeed sewing it together can be a pain. For me if it's larger than a baby sweater, I cringe.

 

Linda I am with you on that one! I despise tucking in the tails. I once had a baby blanket with variation of a granny changing every row, it was all done, except tucking tails. The baby it was planned for didn't get it. My girlfriend saw it a year later, still undone and found out she was pregnant and claimed it was hers. At least I had 8 or so months to get the tails in. I sent them too her to prove I had it completed. I have since learned to tuck the tails as a go.

I know how you feel. I weave in ends as I go along, but I just don't like sewing pieces together.

I don't mind the sewing, it's all the little stinking ends!! I've gotten more in the habit of weaving as I go (when I don't, it's likely to become a UFO) which makes it not so bad but those ends just stink. One of many reasons I dislike working with small skeins of yarn!

[donnalynn2]

I hate it as much as weaving in loose ends! UGH! I've gotten to where I have to make myself tuck in the ends as I go and if I'm working say on a granny ghan, I'll stop and sew each row together as I make them so it's not all sewing at once. I used to whipstitch, I like the way it looks, but I'm so lazy I usually do SC's all the way around...

 

Either way, we all FEEL YOUR PAIN!
