The gist is I want to knit a pullover with this cable motif (just the central part) going down the center front:
\n<\/a>
\nPretty cable that looks like a river knit in midnight blue. Very nice. But it has to come out right at the neckline or it will look dorky. Not nice. Knitting top down would solve that problem, as there is a little more leeway ending at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Have never knit a top down sweater. Should practice. Jewels<\/a> by Amy King (Rav link<\/a>) in the Early Fall 2010 Knitty is perfect! No long sleeves to drag through my experiments! It’s a cardigan so easy-on-easy-off depending on if working at my desk (Siberia) or the cell culture room (the Australian Outback)! I have yarn from deep stash! I love knitting from deep stash! So many exclamatory sentences make this a must knit.

\nLamb’s Pride Bulky in Raspberry. The color looks perfect on my screen. Apple Aperture ROCKS.<\/em><\/p>\n

All is rosy until I get to the correct number of front and back stitches. Both sleeves are 2 stitches short. Cannot see any forgotten increases. Plus sleeve is way too narrow to go around my “meaty” arm. Also, the overall length is too short for separating body from sleeves (pattern says I should be one inch longer). So I’m going to increase just the sleeves by 4 stitches, and I hope that will get me a full enough sleeve opening (gauge is 3 spi) and get me to the right length.

\nI can’t think why that would be a problem, but then I’ve never knit something this way.<\/p>\n

But I’m supposed to be a good problem solver.<\/p>\n
