| Judy P doing one now and so frunstrated |
| Jennifer J Yes for the yoke! |
| Cynthia P my yarn has slubs so i am only doing stockinette |
| Phyllis K D Thanks, Magda, perhaps upload a picture of the result of the hanging the sleeve back on to lengthen it to the forum? I'm sure others would love to see the result. |
| Julia M Can the sleeves be full length? |
| Jean Schwan yes |
| Jean Schwan yes |
| Magda C thanks Phyllis, will show you the result. This time I will wash the rest of the wool before knitting. :) |
| Leo B Yoke sweaters maybe a course??? |
| Wilma T Same here Marie-Jo, I know the English better too (than Dutch in my case) |
| Phyllis K D Magda, I don't know how it might look, haven't done it for sleeves. I've done it in other things and it was good. |
| Jean Schwan When we knit the sleeves is it possible to knit the cuff and bottom half in lace and the rest in full knit? |
| Marie-Jo C I know better the knitting vocabulary in English than in French !! |
| Judy P what a face ? priceless |
| Magda C Phyllis, I thought to do that, undo and rehang and re-rib 1/1... it doesn't' look bad by rehanging ? |
| Jennifer J Or at least a hand knit equivalent |
| Phyllis K D If sleeves get too short, maybe open the seam and hang the edge on the machine and knit extra rows to extend it? |
| Jennifer J Yes Jean! |
| Jean Schwan it really is like learning a new language when you first start knitting....then when you lare learning to machine knit its like a secondary knitting language |
| Jennifer J I would love to help you with a list of terms to help new machine knitters |
| Marie-Jo C When knitting sideway garment, I'd like to knit the edge at the same time |
| Jennifer J Oh no! |
| Magda C I think my daughter washed it to hot.... |
| Judy P knit down, hold every 4th ndl,7 rows, i row plain bo. |
| Jennifer J Pretty! |
| Magda C thank you.... |
| Jennifer J Sounds like I just need to learn the names for the techniques. I have done the hung hem in hand stitching but it isnât called âhungâ |
| Judy P pick up, knit down with fancy end |
| Karyn B A classroom on these ribbing alternatives would be awesome |
| Mary Ann B Add a trim to lengthen the too short sleeves? |
| Judy P my signature finish is 8 row scallop |
| Magda C Hello everybody. sleeves to short after washing, how can I do longer. ? thank you. Sue. :) |
