I am going to do a split hem. By the time I am at the end of this last green section (three rows away), I will have twelve inches from the underarm. That is about the perfect length to start a hem split for me. I am going to make a longer ribbing at the back hem than the front. I prefer doing that, to make sure that my lower back area stays good and warm so the longer back just works. And lastly , after thinking about sleeves more, I am changing my mind about knitting the sleeves plain.
The top of the sleeves are already there with large sections of the white stripes. I am not sure I will like the look of it if suddenly it is all green. Maybe if the sleeves are short, but I have been planning long sleeves. I only know that if I go long, I will stripe. I have not actually decided if the sleeves will be long or short yet.
It's funny how I am at this point in the sweater and I still have choices I must make make. I sometimes think that that divides me from real knitters, that my picture of a project is not set till it is off the needles. But that is silly. I am a real knitter. I am my kind of a real knitter, not anyone else's kind. And I like that.
