"Oh boy more of my favorite hobby!"

Not for the first time EZ's writing struck a chord with me.  But I can say this is the first time I have been happy to knit the same sweater twice.

I get to fix all the errors that I was willing to live with last time, but makes for a much better sweater this time.

• Like raglan increases.  I have discovered with my small, but long frame that it is much better to stop increases before separating the arms from the body and throw in a few regular round to keep the size small and the length long.
• And sleeve decreases.  Even doing the above doesn't quite make up for twiggy arms.  I can decrease at each end of the row about 4 or 5 times to get a close fit on my arms.  YAY!
• Waist shaping.  Every sweater needs it.  You know that and so do I.

 

Now back to knitting.
