Remember, I'm working on the sweater (for me!) right now?I thought you'd like to see the sleeves in progress.
The pattern is actually a miniature leaf that repeats all across the sleeve.
It's a simple pattern - once it's set up - and it's actually quite easy to knit.
Of course, sleeves have increase stitches at regular intervals,
and you have to stay in pattern as you increase at the outside edges.
Thankfully, the increases aren't incorporated into the design
until a person gets the leaf pattern imbedded in their brain!
Don't you just love that the sleeves will have all this openwork on them?
I think it's just one more aspect of the sweater that will make it
comfortable to wear during our warmer summer months here in Florida.
I'm right on schedule to finish the sleeves before the last of the
wedding gown fabrics arrive, so I'll keep working on the sweater til then.
I promise the show you photos as soon as I finish it!
That pattern is so lovely. What a talented lady you are!

I love the pattern, so much, Donna. It's going to be a very lovely sweater when you are finished. :) Theresa
ReplyDeleteFor some strange reason this post seemed to recall the day I made my first and only pair of pants. (I was a teenager) Sewed them up and was so darned proud of myself. Tried them on and couldn't move my legs. I'd sewn them together. Haven't braved it since!

Oh Donna - that sweater is luscious! It will be perfect for the warmer evenings in Florida and the color is one of my favorites! Can't wait to see the finished garment. I am working on a pillow cover which sounds really boring compared to your lovely sweater...is in a basic seed stitch - even more boring...xo Julie
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it finished. It is going to be so pretty. Take care Your Missouri Friend
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet! It's going to be a great sweater! Perfect! Can't wait to see the final product.
