It’s amazing how long it takes to knit a sleeve. I’m still on the first one of my secret project, but at least I’m an inch or so from the end. I’m going to try putting a row in between each bit of joined i-cord because my other attempt came out a bit tight. The bad thing though about sleeves is that I’m about to do it all over again!
Why does casting off the body of something always give that false feeling of being finished?
Not that I’m ready to cast off just yet (although that mini deadline is certainly approaching!) but I have been thinking about how I’m going to do it. You see the main part of the thing is stockinette, so likely to curl without a little weight to the bottom, so I’m thinking possibly an applied i-cord cast-off. However, part of the last row will be vertical ribbing, so needs to retain that stretchy look, which i-cord is definitely not. Should i just gather some of the purl stitches as I’m casting off, or do something different? At least I’ve still got a bit of time to think about it!
