cherry shoulders

Here's the cherry fleur shoulders, just before casting on for the front neck. You can see the sleeves starting to grow at the sides. I was reminded of one more little thing I did this time which I want to remember in the future:

When knitting down from the shoulders, before picking up for the sleeves, I leave one edge stitch at the armhole to have someplace to pick up from. When picking up for the sleeves, knit along the front, knit the last body stitch together with the edge stitch, pick up the sleeve sts, knit the back edge st together with the first back body st... etc. I think this helps make turning that corner a little smoother.

Oh, and yes, this is meant to be a wide scoop neck.

This sweater is a thing of beauty. The pictures sadly cannot do it justice!
