I taught myself how to do Kitchener stitch over the weekend, from a popup on a website called "The Zen of Kitchener" and it truly is relaxing because you have to concentrate. Mindfulness in action. Am really enjoying knitting for my soon to be first grandchild. Then I came across this BBC programme too:

Knickers. Easy to sew and good scrap buster
