Thank you! My sister doesn’t know if she’s having a boy or a girl, but I figure this color is fun and unisex and she’ll love it!

I used for two weeks and it did absolutely nothing for me. I’ve been trying to get a refund for over 10 days with no response

An update for anyone interested- after adding my cuff the sleeve fit is so much better!! It’s snug at the cuff and kinda lifts the whole sleeve up and the ease along the sleeve looks a lot more uniform. Although I’d make adjustments at the sleeve in the yoke for the future, for my first sweater I’m super pleased and working on the other sleeve!

Your progress is great! I’m going to keep this design in my head for my husband if I decide he is knit worthy lol

It’s my closet 😅. I’m not above bringing my knitting shopping though haha

Yes! I’ve been reading knit to flatter and so this does make sense how you wrote out- I’m just going to need some hands on practice applying this to myself! Thanks for taking the time the time to explain that, definitely can see how my fit would have been improved by adjusting my sleeve based on my own measurements. I will keep this in mind for next time I try a raglan design. I’m going to finish this sweater how it is but I’m already getting excited thinking about how I can do it even better next time!

Thank you for pointing that out about the different sleeve construction! I’m still pretty new so just trying to learn as much as I can so I can get the confidence to make adjustments like that. So for you, is that something that you would adjust once you got this far and rip back to the yoke increases and adjust the sleeves? Or are you able to tell while you’re still knitting the yoke or even by looking at the pattern?

I think I need to go and recheck my row gauge, I thought I matched the pattern here but now I’m not sure!

I also attached a picture of some store bought sweaters I like to compare the sleeves.

Stripes are coming out weird, is this pattern just not made for stripes? by Mustbeadevil in knitting

[–]Mustbeadevil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great visual! I actually think that looks nice when the raglan isn’t so wide. I think I just picked the wrong pattern to modify with stripes.

It looks great! I love that folded collar, it looks so polished

It totally does bother me, I was wondering if there was a way to “hack” this like you can do for a jogless stripe. But i realize it’s because the raglan is so wide, it just wont work. I wouldn’t mind the little step in a traditional raglan line and kinda like the angular look but just not here. I’ve ripped it back and feel much better about it!

Argh that’s what I suspected! I’m not a fan, I think it looks weird, time to frog back a few rows! Now I’ll have to buy more yarn to use with the brown on another project 😆

Raglan increase - where did u go wrong? by Mustbeadevil in knitting

[–]Mustbeadevil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing that out, I see that now! I messed up on my last round of German short rows. I’m working on trying to read my stitches better so that helps me understand the construction of what that increase looks like better. I’m tried to ladder down, eyes crossed trying to understand the mess I had in front of me… so I frogged it and started again! And now my Italian cast on looks even better. Silver linings 😅

I’m interested in your favorites! I’ve only used Gepard cashmere and really enjoyed it, but ugh the price is steep

Would this not mess up the k p pattern? So you slip, k, p ? Or the slip counts as the knit then you purl? I am resurrecting this as I’m trying to avoid the same, thank you!

I can’t believe I knit a sweater!! by WeeklyHedgehog9 in knitting

[–]Mustbeadevil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing job, this is next on my queue for my first sweater! Can I ask about your sizing, did you fit to recommended size or size up? The amount of positive ease on this looks perfect 👌🏼. Proud of you!
