[NFB-Krafters-Korner] knitting a sleeve questions

[Dixie]

Hi Cathy,

 

You can either use one large circular needle and do the Magic Loop Method
with that, or else 2 circular needles for the 2 circ method for knitting in
the round.  Whichever method you're more comfortable with is the way to go.

 

As for the "extra yarn" I am thinking you are talking about adding the
stitches?  That is done in the armpit area.  It is the best place to hide
things like that.

Subject: knitting a sleeve questions

 

Hi all,

 

I have taken my sleeve stitches off of my stitch holder and placed them
along with the stitches under the arm onto a circular needle.

So, now what? Where should I add more yarn and what is the best way to do so
with a sweater sleeve.

Also, should I knit in the round on one needle or is it better to use two
needles. Not sure if it matters, just don't want to make a mistake on this.

 

Thanks for any help.
