Has anybody seen this?

[COLOR=black]giedre11, Sue is right. I’ve knitted with Wool-Ease, and I can’t wear a lot of wools because I feel that they’re scratchy, but the Wool-Ease is pretty soft [I][U]and[/U][/I] machine washable and dryable. :happydance:[/COLOR]

Sue, I think you’re really right about LB’s patterns being kind of fiddly. Now that I have a bit of experience and I can look at a pattern here or there and once in a blue moon find a better or easier way than it suggests, I think it’s a true statement to say about their patterns. I saw these arm cozies at their site and LOVED them (already had yarn bought and everything!), but when I saw they had to be knit flat and then seamed, not only did I say “Yuck!”, I shyed away from the pattern, too. Then I started to wonder why in the world you couldn’t knit these in the round, which is when I made my previous post about them. I had already started a plain pair of stockinette ones to replace these cabled ones, so I think I will frog the stockinette ones and begin the cabled ones, because they’re [I][U]really[/U][/I] what I wanted to do anyway in the first place. I just wish they would’ve given alternate instructions for those that wanted to knit flat and then seam, and for those that wanted to knit in the round…they’ve done that in the past on a few patterns.

On another forum about this sweater (or the others like it) I got the idea the sections are probably knit separately because it’s an A line. But you don’t have to have a seam to increase on, you can do it at the sides and possibly between the cable ribs, depending on how much it increases.

Ah…okay. That makes sense to me why the pattern has you knitting flat and then seaming. But you’re right–why didn’t they just have you knit in the round and do the increases at the sides? :??
