August 08, 2005Ok, now where was I? ~Rowan 29 Navigator knit with Lion Brand Cotton-Ease in black and white~ Now I've attached a plenty of sleeves, but somehow I never really invested any time in trying to get to the knitty gritty of really understanding the shaping and how it could relate to "seamless" seaming and "not so seamless" seaming. Reading a featured Design Workshop on attaching sleeves in Rowan 32 was really helpful in taking a new approach to attaching those sometimes pesky sleeves. Check it out if you haven't already. There are a variety of different sleeves with great pics. And if I can ever finish it, I have a few bottoms in mind to accompany the little stripey top.

Wow...that is cotton-ease? Your stitches are so uniform. I'm about to sew in the drop sleeves for my green cardi...sleeves are one thing you have to get right!

Posted by: margene at August 8, 2005 02:50 PMSo glad to see you are back. I was hoping a knitting project hadn't driven you past the edge of reason. And THAT is cotton ease? Hmmm...time to go dig in the stash :O) Posted by: amanda at August 8, 2005 03:02 PMHurrah! Glad to see you back, Miss Froggy. Your new top looks great.

It's good to see your blog back :) Posted by: empress at August 15, 2005 12:27 AMThere you are! Very cute sweater. Seems like one you will get a lot of use out of. Posted by: Jenny at August 15, 2005 01:25 AMOkay, now I feel better. I have had a sleeveless sweater staring me in the face for AGES. I have used my pregnancy as poor, poor excuse for not finishing what really is a task that scares the poo outta me. I starting attaching one of the sleeves way back when, but it went wrong, wrong, WRONG very quickly and I had to tear it all out. Posted by: cagey at August 17, 2005 09:06 PMHi Froggy great to see you again! I went searching for your blog and I found another Froggy Knits! blog. Now that just ain't right! There's only one Froggy. Unless it is you in a dual role? Posted by: Elizabeth at August 19, 2005 11:13 AMWOW!! Looks wonderful!! you'll get it done I know you will! Posted by: michelle at August 19, 2005 11:27 AMI love how the stripy's zig and zag. What a great sweater. Posted by: Bookish Wendy at August 20, 2005 12:35 PMMissed you froggy! Looks like a fabulous sweater from a fabulous knittier! Posted by: Eilene at August 22, 2005 09:55 PM |
