I decided I wanted to knit the sleeves in the round, starting with the cuffs. It would start much like you knit the cuff of a sock or mitten. I feel very blessed to have inherited needles from both of my grandmothers. It is quite a collection of sizes and lengths for both straight and double-pointed needles. I do love using them. I did cast on the stitches for one sleeve.
I was also continuing an internet search on yoke techniques when I came across a post were someone was knitting two cuffs in the round on one circular needle.
It boggles the mind. I had to try it.
I ripped out the cast-ons. After using a too small cable, I transferred the sweater body onto a fairly long strand of yarn so that I could use my longest cable.
So I'm giving it a try. I don't know if I can do both sleeves to the full width. We'll see.
I feel my grandmothers peeking over my shoulder. "Now how do you do that?"
