encountered a problem with the sleeve separating. If you follow the pattern, and place the 1st 9 st. of the round on a holder and then CO steek st., you get a ‘leg’ of yarn from the middle of the underarm to the steeks.

Solution: You have to cast on the steek st. after placing the last 10 st. of the round on the holder.

Sleeves say to slip the ‘seam’ stitch every other row, but I’m finding it to not look very good. Gonna go ahead and knit every stitch

Done with the left sleeve! On to the right.

Neck band time!

My first attempt was no good. I picked up stitches on the V portion at a 4:5 ratio, but it’s still way too small. I don’t get why the pattern says to do the CDD every row either. It makes it really pointy.

In the second try I picked up 1 stitch per 1 row on the diagonal steek. Total neck stitches: 167

Fits good before blocking
