I really love this sweater. The fit is great. I made the sleeves 21.5 inches which completely covers my wrists. I have purchased the yarn to make an EZ sweater for S - a gray sweater with pink color work in O wool.
The bottom hem and the sleeve hems are made in this contrast color. I started by knitting 9 rounds in contrast color, then purled a row with main color, followed by 9 more knitted rounds of main color. Finally, I picked up and knitted together the 10th round and the cast on round. This pictures shows the hem turned up.
I just completed my EZ library - Knitting Around arrived in the mail today and I bought Knitting Almanac at Twist tonight. I already had Knitting Without Tears, Knitting Workshop, and The Opinionated Knitter.
