Mostly, I was just wondering if there was something really obvious that I was missing, but it sounds like there isn't. Thank you so much for the fast answer!danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002081181828451787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179481439332955442.post-83280810731975848892012-07-12T04:39:24.311-07:002012-07-12T04:39:24.311-07:00Re-gauging shaped pieces is more difficult. And I ...Re-gauging shaped pieces is more difficult. And I think many set-in sleeves are also unnecessarily difficult. <br /><br />Unfortunately, this is not a great forum for a set-in sleeve class, and I wish you could be there when I teach it this morning in Ft Collins!<br /><br />But here’s the trick I use to make it simpler than much of what you see out there: DO NOT use curves; use diagonals instead. <br /><br />I’m sorry I cannot be more helpful than that. I promise that it’s all covered in my next book, but that doesn’t help you at the moment. However, if you can get your hands on any of my books, you’ll see lots of set-in sleeves. If you just study how they are done, with diagonals rather than curves in mind, you should be able to solve the puzzle.<br /><br />Good luck!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195225451670338792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179481439332955442.post-82544533819270329832012-07-11T22:16:14.209-07:002012-07-11T22:16:14.209-07:00Thank you for these thoughts!

One thing that I do find intimidating, though, is regauging shaped sleeve caps, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on that - this is timely, as I'm halfway through the sleeves of my current sweater, and am about to tackle this exact issue. I can wing it, and it will probably come out okay, but I was wondering if there's a better way to use the pattern that already exists.<br /><br />Danadanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002081181828451787noreply@blogger.com
