I worked some more on mom’s final sweater sleeve last night.
But really, I think the hydrangea is the star of that picture. Isn’t it beautiful? And then there’s my toes :-). Anyway, the sleeve is coming along nicely. I am at the point where increases slow down a little, so I think I have 40 rows left until the cap shaping. Getting closer, continually getting closer.
I know this isn’t Friday, and Friday is Hayden along day… BUT, here are some pictures of the inside of my hat, at the join between rounds. I know some of you are knitting your hats now, and this might be helpful.
I carry the yarn up as opposed to cutting it. If you notice, the purple hat is looser than the green one, and from the outside, they look the same. So the goal is to not pull too tight when starting a color change, because you wouldn’t want it to bunch up, but there is a range that’ll work. And yes, the purple hat, that I’ve been wearing for a year still has ends to be woven in. I’ll probably never do it at this point since I’ve proven that I don’t have to. :-).

I’ve always thought weaving ends in were much more difficult on knitting than on crochet; maybe it’s just my lack of experience on the former. I can’t believe I am already doing decreases on my Hayden, as I frogged nearly the entire thing at 2AM day before last. I’ve been carrying and pulling tight, but I am not frogging again. Oh, well, live & learn. I won’t be able to see it when it is on the back of my head anyway!

Wow, it’s spooky how timely that picture is. I am about to start knitting a striped dress in the round (for a small rabbit doll) and I wasn’t sure whether or not I would be able to carry the alternating colors. I hate weaving in and try to avoid doing it as much as possible! Thanks for the picture.
