Since taking Gladys Thompson as my primary teacher some 15 years ago, I have focused on uncrossed stiches. Neglecting crossed stitches in knitting gear for outdoor gear has been a serious error that I made that leads to other serious errors.
For example, I can knit crossed stitches flat with blunt needles, but I have not figured out how to knit alternate rows of left over right and right over left in the round with blunt needles.
There is some evidence that the Knitters of Dent, used crossed stitches in their products. If you have information on this topic, please let me know.
Thus, for now, I am knitting outdoor gear with very pointy needles.
