Sleeve Pickup on Fair Isle Sweater
April 26, 2020

Second attempt at sleeve pickup on my massive the wool brokers fair isle sweater. Hey, last night this sleeve was elbow length and, yes, I took a scissor to it and cut it off right down to the pickup row. Something wasn’t looking right with the pattern, subtle but wrong. I finally realized that for the sleeve I was suppose to read the chart backwards, top to bottom. Eek! Oh well, time is stretched these days and I have plenty of it. By the way, those bright little needle stoppers are a brilliant coco knits accessory; they never slip off.
