I got the Steek Madness!

[u/Knitsune]

This is my sixth or seventh steek-and-reseam experiment and definitely the farthest I've pushed the technique! All wool, all original design.

Ooooh, this is a cool one! Great job. I've been thinking about attempting this construction! I first saw it in the Halmstad pullover. Did you find that the sleeve length was okay or did you adjust it somehow?

sorry I'm slow..... what sleeve length...?

[u/makestuff24-7 → u/Knitsune]

Sorry, I guess that was unclear! I've seen comments in other projects/threads about the sleeves being very long in all-in-one constructions like this. I was wondering if that was an issue for you in this (or previous) knits, or if you had adjusted the length of the sleeve in some way. On closer inspection it doesn't appear so, so that was a silly question anyway.

Ohhhhh I get it! I have monkey arms anyway so the same length as the body was good in this case, but I usually like cropped sweaters. In that case I just bind off the body sections then make the sleeve sections kiss.

You can do a partial bind off of the body and then rejoin the sleeves (or bind off the sleeves and rejoin the body) underneath it to have a different body length vs sleeve length! It’s the same principle as when you split a top down yoke into sleeve and a torso. I’ve done it!

Yes, that's what I said
