Hmmm, this doesn't look right

Patrick's freaky sleeve shaping

The sleeve for Patrick is underway, but I'm ripping back. It's the oddest shaped sleeve I've ever seen. The increases happen every right side row, giving me an extreme angle. So, I've got to rip back and do my own shaping. Not thrilled.

This is the second pattern I've used from Black Purl, and both have had serious issues. While the patterns are beautiful, the directions are very lacking. In both cases, I've been on my own for the sleeves. I'm not sure the company even still exsists (as the website has been down for some time and I've heard that they aren't answering emails), but I hope that if they continue to publish pattern, they hire a professional copy editor.

So instead of dealing with it... I'm working on Cassidy:

So very lovely. I'm already thinking I need one in a cotton blend, preferably in red!
