Then I realized that it was going to take ages this way. So on a day when I had a to-do-list from here to Tokyo, I decided to take a different approach and alternate my chores with bursts of seaming. It looked something like this:
Clean bathroom and sink, sew right sleeve cap.
Replace light bulb, empty wastepaper baskets, water plants, fold laundry, sew left sleeve cap.
For a knitting connoisseur, the sleeve caps are lovely, by the way. Due to a special way of binding off using slipped stitches, the slope isn’t stepped as usual, but nice and smooth.
Beautiful cardigan! I’m curious about the bind-off with slipped stitches, since I just started a cardigan with set in sleeves myself. The pattern has a drop shoulder construction, which i dislike and will replace with set-in sleeves.
Thanks! The bind-off with slipped stitches is really worth a try. Hope it works for you with your sleeve adaptation.
Lovely cardigan and orchard!
Thank you!
Beautiful sweater – beautiful orchard.
Thank you for stopping by.
