I found I got the best results by having a knit stitch at each selvedge to be seamed. I knit the strip on the right ending with a k2 to accomplish this and still keep the k1p1 pattern intact across the seam. I'm going to hand this one in, but before I use the seam in an actual garment I would like to do some further experimenting to see if it would work with a tubular cast on and bind off.
Who am I kidding? In actual "real life" knitting (unless there was a really good reason for a seam) I would most likely convert the pattern to knitting the garment in one piece to avoid the seam altogether!

Looks terrific.
Eh, the best kind of seam .. a non-seam.
Amen to that! Your seam looks great though! I'm getting ready to go pull the pins out of my swatches - wish me luck!
Yup, I agree with you!! Whenever I can, I knit in the round!!! But, it looks great!!
speaking of which..I wish my seams in the rounds were better..any hints?
I don't understand PJ, when you are knitting in the round there are no seams.
