Nuke Knitter

A Nuclear Engineer who knits? Go Figure.

I have a dirty little secret. I totally suck at armholes. Every time I knit in the round I end up with at least one gaping hole in the armhole. If I knit bottom up, I end up with holes on both sides of the Kitchener stitching. With Wicked being top down, I thought "Well, self, I'll just pick up a stitch, and that should close off what will obviously be a hole." Nope, wrong. See evidence.

I'll just have to do what I always do and go in during finishing and retrace the loops and pull tight. Maybe on the the other sleeve I'll try picking up three stitches. Yeah, that might work. But, I'll have to remember to get rid of them so I don't have one sleeve wider than the other. I bet you I'll forget.

I feel your hole pain. I am a master at hole cover ups using a tapestry needle and yarn.

And if you have one sleeve wider than the others you can just rub it in peoples' faces. Everyone is jealous of two sized arm holes!
