Earlier in the week I was knitting my sleeves and trying to explain sleeve caps to him. There might have been some pantomime, and in the end my pantomime looked suspiciously like Lucy the Slut's EKG. Thus, slut caps have been born.
Unfortunately, I crocheted (hey, it is knitting, there are no police here) my shoulder seams together and took a look at the sleeves. The slut caps don't really fit the arm holes. Despite measuring numerous times the arm holes look to be about an inch or two too big. I don't mind a deeper arm hole, especially because it is for a cardigan and should make it easier to wear other tops underneath. I'm pretty sure that part of my task tonight (after the show as I am taking the train home) is to rip out the top of the sleeve and refigure the decreases to produce a pair of slut caps that are about an inch to two inches deeper.
Has anyone done this before? If I have to, I can rip out the top of the shoulder shaping, but I would rather fix it on the sleeves. It might not be easier, but it doesn't involve ripping out my slip stitch crochet seams and three sections of knitting.
Any takers? Anyone? Bueller?
Also, two words: mint julep
Fine, one more: yum.
