Knit Two Sleeves at a time

Is second sleeve syndrome a thing? If you suffer, here is a solution. Knit both sleeves at the same time on two circular needles.

It’s a messy start, which you know if you have ever attempted to knit two socks at the same time. So here goes.

This is my Lunenburg pullover which I am really anxious to wear. I have done 5″ on both sleeves. It’s going to be a fabulous spring sweater.

Meanwhile, the Twelve-Point Circular Yoke is moving along. I’m past my waist now and have been working some hip shaping on the Back of this sweater. The end of the body is in sight, well, not exactly in sight, but you know what I mean.

Working on only 2 sweaters feels like monogamous knitting to me. I think I need to add another project to be comfortable. Maybe a pair of socks would fill the void. I’m thinking of casting on this week. I think I know which pattern I’m going to use, but I hate to say it because then I’ll probably change my mind, so it will be official once they are on my needles… although a shawl would be nice too. Sigh, so many options.

How about you? Is spring tempting you to cast on?

Cheers, Deb

I'm a Knitter. The capital K means every day, everywhere. I started designing as co-owner of Cabin Fever with my sister Lyn. We have published over 160 patterns and 11 books. I'm also working on a new set of patterns for Any Gauge or Gauge-free knitting so you can dive into your stash and cast on for a Top Down sweater that fits, or an accessory to use up those odd balls of yarn.

  1. Good 4 u Deb. I think the next sweater I do, I will do both at the same time. I’ve been trying to catch up on some works in progress, not making very much effort though, I’m sure you heard about Orillia and all the damage her after the ice storm. We look like a battle ground. I’m still with out power and won’t b e restored till Friday night. That will be 6 days plus with no power. Power went out at 6:30 Saturday evening. Bah hum bug!!

    1. Wow, that’s a long stretch without power. There must be trees down everywhere. Hope your power is up soon.
