' . v ?--' How to set sleeves in properly f : , By Pat Trexler Dear Pat: I love to knit and consider myself a relatively good knitter, but am too often unhappy with a sweater after I put it together. My biggest problem is with setting in sleeves. I finally resorted to making nothing but raglans knitted all in one piece to eliminate J this problem. This limits me, however, as most pretty patterns I find are done with set-i- n sleeves. Can you give us any advice on how to do this properly? Just sign me Discouraged from Harrisburg, Pa. Most instructions (including some of my own leaflets) tell you simply to sew shoulder, underarm and sleeve seams and to set in sleeves. I am afraid that too many of us who write instructions just assume that everyone has a pet technique for setusually beting in sleeves and fail to cause of space limitations include specific details. d This classic bnttocless cardigan sweaters made with fine yarns to provide wearer warmth, but not bulk. multi-strande- fine yarns give you warmth without weight in a classic buttonless cardigan to we r anywhere with anything. The sweaters timeless simplicity allows you to dress it up or down at will . . . sweatering at its best. You can easily add panels or strips of your favorite pattern stitch to create an original. Unabbreviated, simple-to-follodirections are written for sizes 10 through 18 (or body bust sizes of 32 to 40) to be worked in a gauge. Make it in a solid color, as shown, or combine strands of different colors for a handsome tweed. To obtain directions for making d w Through trial and error years ago, I found the following method the most satisfactory and I will share it with you in hopes that it will solve your problems in this area. If so, clip and save this column. First Step The first step is to join the shoulder seams of the sweater back and front sections. Then set in the sleeve before joining the other seams. If you examine your sleeve cap you will set that it usually has some jagged or squared edges where the bind-off- s were made. Unless you round off these edges, you cannot achieve an even appearance. Becoming Proficient Until you become proficient at setting in sleeves, it is usually a good idea to run some basting stitches with a strand of contrasting yarn to outline a curve on the sleeve cap, coming in from the edge where needed to round it off properly. When this is done, pin or clip the center of the sleeve cap to the shoulder seam of the sweater body, having wrong sides facing out. Then pin the pieces together at each side of the underarm. Finally, place pins The chance of flu vaccine causing side effects such as headache, fever or soreness is smaller today than evlr, reports a government influenza specialist. And even if there is a inaction, it will most likely be mild, Dr. Peter Patriarca of the Centers for Disease Control told the Health Insurance Association of America. The Atlanta epidemiologist estimates about one chance in 20 of flu vaccine causing a mild reaction in adults. He attributes the lower likelihood of side effects to a significant reduction over the years in the impurities in the vaccine. He said that the vaccine is recommended for all those over 65, and for people of any age with a chronic health problem. the classic cardigan, send your re0 with quest for Leaflet No. $1 and a long, stamped, envelope to: Pat Trexler, Dept.

Use Plastic Picks By the way, when I refer to pinning, I am not recommending the use of sharp pins that will split your yarn. Rather, I suggest you use the plastic picks that come with some hair rollers, tapestry needles or plastic-tippe- d bobby pins. I prefer the latter, which I actually clip on over both edges. To be certain that you have a nice smooth fit, I suggest that you baste from the underarm to the shoulder, first from one underarm and then from the other, basting along the same line used to outline the sleeve cap curve. Worth Extra Time Turn to the right side and check your seam. If it doesnt look right, pin and baste again until it does. I know this sounds like a lot of trouble, but this is probably the most important seam in your entire garment so it is worth the extra time it might take. While the weaving method is usually preferable for seaming two perfectly straight edges, I suggest that you either sew in sleeves with small back stitches or that you use a crocheted slip stitch. With a little practice, I believe that you will be happy with the results. If not, just keep watching this, column for some exciting designs in seamless knits worked from the neck down.
