TDSS Aran Cardigan in Progress



Here is a photo of the Top-Down Saddle-Shoulder Aran in progress. As you can see I am knitting the sleeve flat rather than in the round. The orange markers on the back show the correct depth of the armhole. Instead of measuring from the center of the saddle, I had measured from the picked-up edge for the armhole depth so the back ended up being 1 1/2” too long! When I return to working the back, I will have to rip back to those markers because I have to pick up along the edge of the body part of the sleeve to make the back the desired width. Live and learn, right? :)



The other orange markers on the sleeve are where the body part of it ends, then where the first decreases are. (I like to count rows so that I can make corresponding parts match.) The green marker in the center of the sleeve is for the measuring the sleeve length.
