I wanted to clarify I'm not omitting that stitch altogether, I'm just knitting it instead of purling it.<BR/><BR/>I've begun again, and am much happier with the sleeve!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203802755345306619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-61727827846402846372007-09-04T18:01:00.000-07:002007-09-04T18:01:00.000-07:00I hated it for the first few inches of stockinette...I hated it for the first few inches of stockinette (you can't easily see it in the ribbing), but after 5 or so inches I thought it looked nice. That is...unless you stretch it. <BR/><BR/>I'm still worried that it will look bad on a moving body, where it'll get twisted and stretched. I'm afraid it will just look like a badly sewn seam. My plan is to just sew an actual seam if this happens, losing a little bit of ease (but not much). <BR/><BR/>Avoiding the faux seam entirely would also certainly work.Scholasticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345849533167164831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-18595116689702375662007-09-04T06:43:00.000-07:002007-09-04T06:43:00.000-07:00Interesting. I just frogged my first sleeve this ...Interesting. I just frogged my first sleeve this morning, after doing about 11 inches, because I hated the faux seam stitch. I didn't like how it drew attention to itself. It also made the paired increases stand out more, when I would prefer them to be as invisible as possible.<BR/><BR/>And all along I haven't liked the idea of adding a seam stitch to a sleeve knit in the round, when the beauty of knitting in the round is there are no seams!<BR/><BR/>So I'm starting my sleeve again, without the faux seam stitch. I'm going to omit it from the body as well.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15203802755345306619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-26517947145143855502007-09-02T18:00:00.000-07:002007-09-02T18:00:00.000-07:00Thanks!Thanks!Scholasticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345849533167164831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-28984069048487546602007-09-02T17:56:00.000-07:002007-09-02T17:56:00.000-07:00It is gorgeous!It is gorgeous!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029030613712562383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-68328891965456546202007-09-02T17:42:00.000-07:002007-09-02T17:42:00.000-07:00It's Knitpicks Palette in garnet heather.It's Knitpicks Palette in garnet heather.Scholasticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345849533167164831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5311192976400693173.post-40601416139645875002007-09-02T17:36:00.000-07:002007-09-02T17:36:00.000-07:00That is such a pretty color...what is it?That is such a pretty color...what is it?Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029030613712562383noreply@blogger.com
