I have been working feverishly on completing the first of many, I hope, knitted sweater for myself using measurements taken by my husband (that was sure a fun event, I should have sold tickets!) and trying to use suggestions from the amplelist digest http://www.ample-knitters.com/ One suggestion that I think is really going to work well for me is increasing the sleeve to fit my arm, by stopping the
increases for a couple of inches then resume to increase I get to the upper arm.
I really can not stand huge baggy sleeves. The picture above is the back which measures 27 1/2 inches and I'm using eggshell Simply Soft.
Below is one completed sleeve and the 2nd one is half finished. I find that increasing in knitting is so much easier than crocheting. I'm using the same pattern http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/khs-hoodedSweater.html that I have previously crochet for myself and can be seen in my archive list August, 2005.
