I didn't get very far on the eye sweater this week:
That's what happens when we have a heat wave along with me being busy at work. But I had time on Saturday, so I got a couple more rounds in on the sleeves. And then I got stuck.
I'm at the bottom portion of the sleeves (at about the elbow heading towards the wrist).
And here's where the example picture gets interesting:
I can't tell what those stitches are. It's been just straight double crochets and treble crochets up until now. But between the two white bands? I can see some double (probably treble) crochet clusters. But what stitches do I use?
If anyone has any ideas, I'm open. But I know I'm going to have to figure this out on my own. And hence, why I'm stuck. For now.
Our lovely heat wave of 100+ temps is supposed to settle into cooler weather (the 80s) later this week. I might be able to think about accomplishing something then. Maybe.
Tell me stories of cool weather. I'd like to imagine nice weather for a while, at least until the autumn heatwaves subside. (Generally, for us, that's November.)

I can't tell. But, if you want to do something a little different from the double or triple, you could do a row of, and I don't know its name, where it crosses over, like x's. It might set off the end of the sleeve a bit. Whatever you do it will look great!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what that stitch is. No, I don't know what it's called either. A cluster of some sort, I'd guess.
DeleteWhat a nice blogger community. :D Best wishes to you, my dear.
DeleteThat is one cool sweater. I hope you figure out the sleeve situation. The weather here is a perfect early 70's. Sun is out but the air is cool.
ReplyDeleteI don't know enough about crochet to hazard a guess, so good luck. It's actually cool out here. The first fall-like September in a decade.
ReplyDeleteI’m loving the sweater … especially now that we are getting sweater weather
ReplyDeleteHow nice. Sweater weather. I hope we get sweater weather at some point. (I enjoy hearing of your nice weather.)
DeleteIt's still hot here. I'm no help as I don't know how to really crochet. I made a blanket but I think I made up a stitch. lol
ReplyDeleteIf you did, you should name it after yourself and prominently feature it in your projects ;)
DeleteSome days are like that.
ReplyDeleteMine has been a loyal journey with this creation 😊
ReplyDeleteHopefully I'll finish it soon :)
DeleteI guess figuring out stitches can be frustrating, especially when the pattern isn’t clear.

From whatever yarn the example person used for the rows between the stripes, I can't tell what the stitches are. I do like Lisa's idea of using the X stitch (I think it really is called the X stitch). Why not?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. That's an idea.
DeleteThis is Birgit…you will know how to get the sleeves done because I have no idea. All I do know is that this is looking really cool
ReplyDeleteI have no idea right now. Hopefully I'll make some sort of decision.
Delete"Reading" a crochet sweater without the pattern is part of the fun ;) And chances are the result will be even more beautiful and personal
