Archive of Thread: Armhole shaping with Decreases Practice Piece Back

2 years ago

I just did some messing around this morning with some yarn because I have some yarn that says bulky, but it looked like it would work with the needles on my LK150. It is soft and not stiff. It looks bulky because it is so "Airy". It knitted lovely on the LK150. So I had enough stitches cast on with my playing around, that I tried that first practice set in sleeves worksheet I had issues with. I did the decrease 4 stitches each armhole edge, knit a row, dec 3 st each AH edge, knit a row, Dec 1 st each AH edge, Dec 1 st each AH edge, etc for the number of times required, following that practice instruction sheet. It worked.



I had needles with two stitches on them when doing the decreases. I was wondering if that would be too much for the LK150. It worked without issue. I made note of the carriage tension and mast tension. 

I didn't do the sleeve cap. I was not planning on doing what I did, I just did it. I will probably do that with this yarn at a later time.
