This is using Susie Meyers' Contiguous method. It's a set-in sleeve, but you cast-on like with a raglan (that is to say, you cast on and make increases rather than cast on numerous times, putting the pieces together as you normally would with set-in sleeves). The ingenuity is amazing, but I'm not completely sold--I think the shoulders in my Tailored Sweater cardigan (see Tidewater Cardigan) fit much better, but I'm withholding judgment until this sweater is completed. It's stalled. It's not summer anymore.
I've been knitting for others--today I finished a pair of school socks for Bub (he hates the socks he has to wear with his uniform, the seam at the toes is rough and I've been knitting him a pair of socks in secret to surprise him with) and I have a sweater I'm working on for Itty Bitty. And then I'm supposed to use the leftover sock yarn and knit my mother a pair of black socks, but I have less than the weight of Bub's socks. She has small feet, but I'm not sure they're that small.
Hopefully I get to this Ribbed Lace Bolero soon, for myself. I think it would be handy to wear with some strappy dresses.
Can anyone else believe it's already November?
