Escape from sleeve island

Yoke inlet. 

Yoke inlet. 

at last, I am off sleeve island. That cuff took forever, compared to the rest of the sleeve, which I busted out last night. I wound up doing both sleeves using magic loop, where you knit a small circumfrence using a very long circular needle and pulling out the excess cable. It's handy, but I find it slows me down considerably compared to double points. But I was too lazy to get up and go upstairs to find my double points so magic loop it was.

And now onto the yoke, c which because it's a seamless raglan sweater will go quickly as I'm decreasing 8 stitches ever right side row, plus v neck decreases. Thank GOD. 

 

Stuck on sleeve island

pain in the ass. A pretty pain in the ass, but a pain in the ass nonetheless.

I really don't like garter stitch in the round. Interestingly, i hate it more than regular old stockinette done flat (which is also knit one row, purl one row).  

But clearly I don't hate it more than I hate seams. 

Second sleeve of Uniform under way. . . . soon, the yoke and collar. Soon.
