Are those the body stitches on the holder? Are you knitting the sleeves up to the armholes and then joining body and sleeves to knit the shoulders? I have done sweaters that way, and in pieces, and with steeks. You are doing well! Looking forward to updates.
yes, this is the body, I am now working on the arms. I am supposed to join all parts on the needles after they are all done, and knit the shoulders while joining all parts. Or so I think! :) A little anxious about this part! :)
After you have done it once, it will make perfect sense to you. Keep up the good work.
