I recently cast on a new color work/stranded sweater. The directions said to start with the sleeves (which I did) and this got me thinking about the value of the experience I am having “practicing” the design on the sleeve before I get to the grander, more involved work on the body of the sweater.
And thus, a helpful hint is born…
Try out and build your expertise in a new pattern by starting your next sweater with the sleeves!
