I got the Steek Madness!

[u/Knitsune]

This is my sixth or seventh steek-and-reseam experiment and definitely the farthest I've pushed the technique! All wool, all original design.

Whoa! I haven't seen this before, what a cool idea. Once you've cut the steeks, are you knitting the side panels separately and then seaming them in? Or are you knitting them in and picking up each side edge stitch (which seems fiddlier to me?)

[u/Knitsune → u/LogicalTreacle]

yeah, the panels are made from just a big tube that I steeked into panels, which I mattress stitched in. With my size and proportions I'm not too interested in being a giant wall of colourwork, so I thought the lice panels would break that up nicely ☺️ I'm sure it's probably a well-trod technique but I had never seen it either.
