Try, Try Again?

September 18, 2010

Hi Spud & Chloë Friends,

Well, here’s a quick update for you. I am finishing up the second sleeve on TC’s Raglan. I am at the cuff. The catch is that I am not making it the same as the first sleeve. I finished the first sleeve as I had planned on paper. I had TC try it on yesterday morning before school. It turns out that I am not 100% sure I love the way the sleeve cuff looks. I want to try  a couple of changes.

Therefore I left the first sleeve intact and moved on to the second sleeve. I am making a few changes for this second sleeve. I am knitting the stripes to 13 inches from the underarm. I have 44 stitches on the needles. I am going to do a k2, p2 rib to 16 inches from the underarm and put in a thumbhole at a slightly different placement. To make the thumbhole I will work back and forth for an inch and a half to about 17.5 inches from the underarm. Then I will rejoin to work in the round again and finish the entire sleeve to 19 inches from the underarm and then bind off.

Tomorrow I am hoping to get a photo of TC with both versions of the sleeve to see which one I will keep. I will share that with you. My videographer is making an appearance at home tomorrow (he’s coming home from college for the day) and I will see if I can get him to film while I pick up the stitches for the hood.

I’ll be back soon with the sleeve conclusions.
