I am, unfortunately, guilty of getting bored with projects all the time. I always feel guilty afterwards, too :(.

It makes me feel talented and powerful. Plus there is all the anticipation of what it will look like when put together. Your seeming looks flawless by the way. I actually like seaming too.

I find it tremendously satisfying too. In addition to mattress stitch, though, I find crocheted seams to work exceedingly well. They're particularly handy for easing in sleeves to an armhole and you can make them nearly invisible so you see nothing on the right side. If you're careful, they're no bulkier than a three-needle bindoff. I've also found Knit Klips to help keep the pieces from moving around while you're assembling them. I tend to use the markers that you show to mark where the seams should align. I'll look forward to the modeling of the FOs.

I love to seam also. It's so nice and neat and methodical. I bet you like kitchnering too? I do for the same reasons. Keep on keepin' on! Those locking stitch markers are my favorite knitting “tool”!

I can`t wait to see the projects finished. Your seams look perfect. The little green and orange thingies are safety pin stitch markers? They look like something that could make my life much easier.

That said, I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'll never love seaming the way I love knitting. I don't hate it or procrastinate doing it and I think I'm reasonably good at it (though I don't pin the pieces like I ought to), but I'm always aware that the process of it doesn't satisfy me the way the process of knitting does. So good on you and more power to you that you enjoy seaming so much. I'm sure that enjoyment shows in the quality of your seams, too. I think your plan for the collar will work out just fine. Can't wait to see it! Mattress stitch is like magic and a well executued seam is a joy to behold.
