If you knit in a different manner than is most common, getting some-one else to do your grafting may not be any more effective. Try making two swatches, with needles much larger than you'd normally use for the yarn, leave the sitches live, but remove the needles. If you take a darning needle and some yarn I bet you can recreate the path of your own stitches better than any one else. Just ignore the standard directions and take good notes. You will probably get it to work with out too much difficulty.</p> Just a thought on your kitchener stitch struggles.
