Steeks! (Cutting your sweater open)

This is especially for those folks knitting up Dissent or the Dissent Pullover cardigan hack, but this method works whenever you want to cut some knitting open. This video will show you how I mark my sweater with basted guidelines, reinforce the steek using my sewing machine, cut the sweater open, and pick up stitches for the button bands.

If you need the Dissent Pullover cardigan hack, you can find that here for free.
