You could lengthen the sleeves if you wish with a couple of rows with a crochet – I have done that on a baby blanket to make it a little larger. To keep the sweater flat you can iron it with a damp cloth, just around the bottom or sew a bias type in the back - that might help. I just finished my daughter’s thick scarf today and she will need it in Ohio. We went on a little trip last week and were surprised to find snow after we came back.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-22425473413918213272010-02-13T12:39:46.232-08:002010-02-13T12:39:46.232-08:00I love your sweater ...wish I could knit as well a...I love your sweater ...wish I could knit as well as you!!gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00894920637532415315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-36149833079571652182010-02-13T12:27:52.925-08:002010-02-13T12:27:52.925-08:00I've had several store-bought sweaters that ro...I've had several store-bought sweaters that rolled. It's not unusual. Love the color! You could add length by crocheting on the sleeves, making a different border. But I think the sleeves look great the way they are.Lillian Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13488638666900705015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-3539818096206296452010-02-12T21:36:09.134-08:002010-02-12T21:36:09.134-08:00I love this color on you DJan, it is gorgeous.
