Visst går det att sticka på rundsticka men du får sticka avigt vartannat varv. Har just stickat delarna separat till en tröja, men satt allt på en rundsticka för att göra raglanavlutning. Det funkar alldeles utmärkt att ha skarven mitt i den ena hoptagningen.

Jag såg också videon och funderade på att sticka med rundsticka. Blir det inte rätt att börja med en rät maska sedan lyfta rätt med tråden bakom? Jag skall prova och se om det fungerar

Det er så utrolig flott at dere har laget disse teknikk-videoene. Tusen takk! Som faglærer i forming, ser jeg virkelig rent praktisk hvordan videoene gir alle folk en unik mulighet i å lære teknikkene ved å se og lære. Lenkene til videoene er noe elevene må få kjennskap til, som redskap i faget Kunst og håndverk (KOH) og bruk av PC.
