At knit night tonight, I finished the body of my French Toast sweater. The fit is great, but I don’t like that the designer says to do the hem ribbing with the same needles as the body. Usually it’s done with smaller needles, but I trusted her explanation on Ravelry. It looks too big and sloppy, so I’ll reknit it with smaller needles later. For now, I’ve got a good start on the first sleeve!

This looks terrific on you, Marissa! I wish I could come and learn how to sew by your side.
Wouldn’t that be fun? Sigh, I haven’t sewn in a while now. The boy rarely naps now (and the day is messed up if he does), and I’m so exhausted by bedtime that after the kids are asleep all I can do is knit or spin a little. It would help if I had a place where I could leave the sewing machine out, but I have to store it in the closet, away from curious fingers.
It looks great! How far will you go for the sleeves? Full length?
I’m definitely doing full-length sleeves. I prefer to roll up sleeves if necessary than to have chilly wrists. :0
I’m the same way. 🙂
