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.
