When i knit do i have to make a slip knot?
I take it that your problem with the slip knot is that it is too tight on the edge when the piece is finished. Yes, you must have a slip knot to start the work, but instead of counting that slip knot stitch as your stitch, simply add an extra stitch in the opposite direction and don't work the original slip knot. The advantage of this method is that the entire work will be an even edging without that annoying "pull" to the edge.So what to do with that dangly stitch? When you are done, untie the slip knot, and weave it into the selvage it is on. It eliminates the pull, hides the end, and you will be much happier with the results.The other option is to learn the double cast method of casting on. While it still involves a slip knot, it is at the other end of the row, and for me, it won't get too tight *because* it is at the other end. That is, I won't pull it too tight while I am knitting.
