You make everything appear so easy! I purchased the pattern a few weeks ago, even though it is a little above my skill level; my only experience is with raglan sleeves. So I am paying very close attention to these tutorials. Thanks again. PS The cables really look beautiful in that yarn.
Yes, the Kitchener Stitch is flatter than a three needle bind off and works great if you are joining two pieces knit in Stockinette St. If you are joining pieces with any sort of stitch pattern, it can be trickier to get a Kitchener join to blend into your work. Had I used Kitchener for the pieces I was joining in the video, I wouldn't have that little ridge on the WS of my work, but there would have been a distinct row of "knit" stitches across the seam breaking up the stitch pattern. Just one of the trade offs you have to make sometimes in knitting.

I hope you enjoy the pattern. I didn't do a video on joining the sleeves, but if you get stuck, drop me a note and I'll share a few tricks with you.
I am not a long time knitter but I was just wonder if the Kitchener stitch would be flatter than the 3 needle b/o?

The Chilly Dog thank you. I understand the difference.
