Divide Those Sleeves!

After some fiddling and a few dropped stitches, I have my Rainbow Radiate ready for sleeves!

I finished the short row shaping, put sleeves on waste yarn and worked about 6/7 rows of the body. I have decided I like working the sleeves first before the weight of the full body of the sweater exists. It’s less fabric to have in my lap and “turn” as I work sleeves.

I grabbed some shorty circulars and put the first sleeves on and going. This has a second silver lining….I can maximize the yarn used in the body without having to save any for the sleeves. I have two kinds of grey main color that I am blending so I need to be careful.

These will be full length sleeves so I have some way to go to get these done but those short round and round circles are mostly satisfying. Lots of progress develops quickly! Happy Knitting!!

  1. Brilliant idea to do the sleeves first and have less bulk to fiddle with with the small rounds make you turn the whole thing around! I don’t knit a lot of adult sweaters, mostly baby sweaters. It’s looking good!
