So, can we talk about how much I love the short-row set-in sleeve?
A lot. That’s how much. It’s just so darn elegant: knit the arm opening, join the shoulders, pick up stitches and start shaping. Before you know it, boom!, sleeve cap without any awkward easing-in seaming, impossibly long yoke rounds, or sleeves to finish and join. It just makes sense, you know?
And now I plan on using it as much as possible.
For the twenty eleven, I thought about knitting extra-long extra-cozy sleeves … then I remembered that I live in Nashville and, realistically, wool cardigan weather isn’t going to be around much longer. 3/4 sleeves just work so much better here.
And speaking of things working out, as of yesterday afternoon my written exams are over! It is a glorious feeling, no less glorious than it was 5 years ago … and the prospect of a whole weekend off: oh my, it’s heaven.
My goals: sleep and anything I want to do, including finish this cardigan.
