Knitting gripe
Feb. 21st, 2008 01:48 pmI'm knitting Leslye Solomon's Optical Illusion Cardigan. The body is knit side to side to create vertical stripes of color, and then the yoke and sleeves are black. I had 3/4 of a rant written about how the decrease instructions make no sense. Guess what? I worked it out while trying to explain it to you guys. I messed up my subtraction.
A major relief there. Because I have a short upper torso (bust to shoulder) I want to shorten this part of the cardigan. But it looked to me like the yoke was going to be enormous. Now I think I'll be able to shorten it by the simple expedient of using the measurements from the next size down when it says "continue to x inches".
