I totally understand that it takes a long time and you've had so much on your plate. Thanks again and I'll look forward to receiving it when you finish. You're awesome.sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592901248803182375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-75031529788854950702007-03-23T09:44:00.000-07:002007-03-23T09:44:00.000-07:00The sleeve is what has been giving me fits. Becaus...The sleeve is what has been giving me fits. Because I'd work it out, as I thought it was supposed to go and then get confused with her language. Or she'd tell you to do the YOs on the raglan shaping X number of times, but given the stitches I had, that didn't work out in the row-by-row. <BR/><BR/>But I think I'm getting there. I looked again today when looking up your question and realized that I'm further through it than I thought. I need to double-check where I am and then I can probably send out an update. <BR/><BR/>As for the "mirror image" terminology, yeah, it's a little misleading. She means that the shaping and stuff should be the same, on the two opposite sides, the techniques you use to accomplish that differ somewhat. Now I'm having small horrors wondering what someone's Ballerina would look like if they just turned around at the midpoint and worked back up my spreadsheet!!amy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06341600098383162836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-75450358442254761322007-03-23T05:20:00.000-07:002007-03-23T05:20:00.000-07:00P.S.

I can easily follow the spreadsheet directions, but I just didn't understand her terminology.Thanks for clarfiying.sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592901248803182375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-46849967218458100072007-03-23T05:17:00.000-07:002007-03-23T05:17:00.000-07:00I think I get it.

As I've said many times, I don't know what I'd do without you, friend. Hanne's language is so darned confusing. The sleeve is what really worries me. Thanks for the explanation.sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592901248803182375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387153.post-15945580735998416992007-03-23T05:02:00.000-07:002007-03-23T05:02:00.000-07:00Sherri --The Center Back row is the middle of a gu...Sherri --<BR/><BR/>The Center Back row is the middle of a gusset that you work by finishing up all the short rows you used to make the first half of it. In row 770, you clean up all the YOs you made in the first half of that gusset, which by my calculation, was 21 YOs. That's why there's suddenly a large change in the number of stitches on the needle.<BR/><BR/>You did the same thing on row 641 in the middle of the first gusset. <BR/><BR/>Now I have to scramble madly to get the 2nd sleeve directions finished and stay ahead of you! Mirror imaging the sleeve is tricky.amy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06341600098383162836noreply@blogger.com
