Chain Selvedge

Here's the first sleeve for the Rebecca Wrap Cardigan. I made a sleeve instead of a swatch.. right now it seems a bit small, but might grow when washed/blocked.

I had my doubts about this sweater. I like the yarn, the design is interesting, and knitting it is challenging (all good things). But lots of people in blogland are knitting it, and its not really my style to jump on the bandwagon. But, the sweater is cute and has a different look. so, onward.

I learned how to do a nice edge on this sleeve. Leila from the suggested slipping purlwise the first+last stitches on the WS. It looks so nice! Here's a close-up:

This photo is of the WS. See how the edge stitches kinda float away from the side? They actually turn about 90 degrees from the RS. This should make seaming very smooth.

If you like it, make it. Who cares if everyone else has one? :) Your sleeve is very cute, and it resembles the lace in Lucky Clover!

Have fun with it!

jae:

this is my first time seeing your blog...
i figured the best place to reply to your comment would be here. thanks for the encouragement for starting the project. are you in toronto? you should go to lettuce knit and check it out in person - it looks much better on me than on the interweave model. (where is the modesty?!)
