One Sleeve Down

[atherleisure]

I finished the trim on the first sleeve, which is really just the armscye, on the 1902 vest and started the second one.

On the tuxedo sweater, I got to the point of widening for the sleeves. I'm not a big fan of knitting sweaters in one piece, but that's how the patterns I was finding were so I guess it was a common way to do it during the early 1920's. I know I've seen a couple of sweaters that koshka_the_cat made that were the same way.

This one has 231 stitches on the needle. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they all fit on my 14" needles, even with a row counter on the end of one needle. It's fingering weight yarn knit at 5 st./in. so it squishes well.

That is a pleasant surprise!
