Just wanted to thank you for the clarification on the sleeves — you are not the only one! Having frogged one complete yoke and sleeves, this is a great help as I restart.

thank you sooooooo much for posting your suggestions on this pattern. i’m at the 4.5″ mark right now and have been searching for a couple of weeks now for some good advice. i love EZ’s narratives and the instructions have been fine so far, except for the buttons and the sleeves. i have frogged this sweater a few times already. i started in cotton then went to a wool / acrylic mix that i had a lot more of. i couldn’t get the lace pattern to align correctly so my latest attempt also included some stitch-markers, that is now going great as well. i can now proceed with confidence!!! thanks again!!

You have definitely saved me confusion and trouble by solving the “and knit up 4 x 7″ riddle. Too late to save me from the missing yoke buttonholes though — but that’s alright. Thanks a mil for sharing your troubles. I hope some good knitting karma comes your way!

I also just discovered your post, and I have ripped back on my own Feb. sweater too many times. I have made a few modifications, which haven’t been the problem. I’m still struggling with what to do when it comes to those dang arms. At this point, I’m just doing research before I begin them so that my yarn doesn’t have to go through another frogging. Thanks for letting the rest of us know we’re not alone, and giving us hope that our little sweaters will turn out just fine!

Hi! I just found this blog post through a Google search for EZ’s FBS becuase this part about the sleeves totally mystified me too! I now *finally* understand what she means when she says “place remaining 92 sts on needle, knitting up 4 x 7 sts at the cast-on sleeve sts”….. It would have REALLY helped to give a total number here, so I would have gotten that I had to “pick up” (who says “knit up”?) those sts to get the total number required.

Anyway, I just wanted to say you’re not alone, and I really appreciate your thorough writeup.

Cheers!
Vanessa
