A Sleeve

[atherleisure]

I finished the first sleeve for my 1936 sweater. I got excited because it looks like I might have just enough yarn to finish the sweater...until I realized that I wasn't accounting for any neck treatment. While I don't think I'm going to be bold enough to go with the turreted collar, I'll still need to do something at the neck, probably some ribbing. Whatever it is, it will be in keeping with the 1930's style of the sweater but fit in with modern wear. I'll probably borrow something from another 1930's pattern; it just remains to be seen what.

Picture proof:

This makes me nearly half-finished with the sweater.

That's a beautifully made sleeve!

Thanks. I find it very interesting that it has a very shallow head when the last sweater I made had a huge head. The patterns were published within just a few years of each other. How fashion marches!

Wow, that looks so complicated! I can't believe you actually knit that!

That's the great thing about knitting; one stitch at a time can make things that look really complex without being at all difficult.
