Sleeve increases


Oh dear, I think I increased on the sleeves incorrectly - every 6th row instead of every 8th for the first few. Well, anyway, I have finished the front pieces and back. I have used the Tahki Donegal Tweed in a teal with orange and other color fleks. Here they are ->

Sleeve questions

Hi everyone,
I've never done sleeves the way that the CPH does them, so I have a question about the length. I'm really short, so I've had to shorten the length of the main part of the sweater. I was just curious where the main part of the sleeve is supposed to hit on your arm before you start the sleeve cap. I just don't want to knit them the way the pattern says and end up with it too long. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sleeves are... Soothing?

I posted earlier about how I'd done the back cables incorrectly and I'm doing the sleeve cables to match. It's been chilly lately and I've been wearing a store-bought cabled cardigan from 5 years ago and it was just what I needed to pick back up my CPH again. I'm on the sleeves and I've finished fronts and back, so I'm nearing the finish... sort-of.
With my recent addiction to Gray's Anatomy, I've picked up my CPH and been working on it constantly. It's been really soothing during a stressful spring semester of school. That's quite an alliterate sentence!! Hope everyone else is thoroughly enjoying this knit!

Frogging and sleeve enlargement

I forgot to turn one of the cables last night. I noticed it after finishing the cable turning row. The forgotten cable was at the beginning of the back. Without giving it enough thought I decided to knit on and turn the cable on the next wrong side row. I did that and knit two more rows. Meanwhile I began to question my logic and an inspection of the errant cable convinced me to frog back and do it right.

Noone would have noticed but me, but the cable was always going to annoy me, so I did the right thing.

I am contemplating various methods of enlarging the sleeves but haven't decided on one yet. I need to read the Knitty.com articles on sleeves in depth. But right now I think if I bind off two extra stitches for the arm holes and add two extra stitches to the sleeves themselves the shoulders will be a bit narrower (ok since my shoulders are narrow) and the sleeves will be 1/2 inch larger in diameter.

Does it seem like this would work?

Knitting larger sleeves

Moirae posted on 1/23/07 that she had knit deeper arm holes so she could make the bigger sleeves. I've read that the arms knit from the original pattern are snug. Is there a supplement to the pattern for larger arms? If not how do you calculate for larger diameter arms?

Meanwhile I'm plugging along with my Beaverslide Fisherman Tweed. I'm past the second cable turn on the front-back-front. I had some trouble getting started, making stupid mistakes, knitting while exhausted from shoveling 5 inches of sleet from the driveway. I'm not sure I'm loving this yarn for this project. I will suspend judgement till I'm done, though.
