Amanda Knits

I HATE sewing in sleeves, even drop or modified drop. I especially hate drop because you don't have a very clear "start point." The modified drop gives you that, at least.

So on this dobok inspired sweater, I did some math and picked up the stitches along the armhole. I started knitting down (both sleeves, flat, not in the round). I'll have 4 seams total on this thing. Straight sleeves and straight side seams. (Well, there's side shaping, but the SEAMING is straight.)

Ta da.

And it just looks so darn CLEAN on the inside. I know, I know, clean seams, nobody sees them...but I know they're there.

I have about an inch on each sleeve done. Now it's just a heck of a lot of mindless knitting...

I think I'll finish this having used LESS than 6 full balls; I bought 12. Oops...
