I always forget to do that and only find which ones belong where later! Reminders are great. Thanks. :) You’re right! I added it.

I designed this to fit Jim’s shoulders; he needs the sweater to measure between 16.5″ and 17″ across. Some of you may have suspected this when you saw the “design a sleeve cap calculator“. ( Aren’t blogs a good way to keep track of what you are doing? ) [...] […] As you can see, I am compulsive about checking dimensions as I work.

If you already have a pattern, I suggest using this: <a href="http://www.thedietdiary.com/knittingfiend/tools/YardageConversion.html" rel="nofollow">estimate yardage when you converst a pattern</a>. Most skeins list the yardage on the side of the ball band. By the way, strangely enough, if you do everything in metric, you can enter the stitch and row gauges in number/ centimeter, and enter number of yards in the pattern in meters. Strangely enough, the conversions work, <em>provided</em> you enter all gauges in the same units, and cross out the word "yard" and fill in "meters" in the final estimate. (I may add a box today to let people who don't automatically know this do that!) If you are specifically thinking of a sleeve, I'd have to write that up for you. Hi Mansoor,

I've never had the nerve to design any sleeve other than a drop shoulder (in which I look terrible) but I'm winding myself up to replicate a much loved store bought cardigan. The only issue I had was the scary sleeves and they aren't anything like as scary now. I'd already worked out how many to decrease at the armhole (we both got the same answer) but after that it would have been time to dig out the graph paper. Thank you so much for sharing this.
