Lorrie's First LJ Poll: Which Sleeve on Which Arm?

So, I realise that when I asked with crazy ASCII markup in place of oh, pictures, that really...I should have pictures. I finished Sleeve Two over lunch, and had co-worker Steve take the pics--I now have it on good authority that the iPhone's craptastic camera sucks less than several other phones' craptastic cameras. Yay?

There are pictures back here, which are low bandwidth but tall, so behold my lj-cut. )

*eyes LJ's Poll warily*

Well, LJ's poll thinger appears to be tracking results well, but [livejournal.com profile] dpaxson swears she left some sort of comment along with her answer, and it ain't showin' up.

Oh, well. The majority agree with my initial assessment of \/, with DLP also able to give some sort of reason why it should be that way that makes sense--so that's how it'll be!

I've threaded one lifeline around the sweater-at-armpits, one at each sleeve-at-armpits. Once I'm satisfied that the shoulder shaping isn't full of spring-loaded crepe-paper snakes or something, I can take those out.

There are four more lifelines: one at left-center and right-center on the body, and one at the underside of each sleeve. These are in nice contrasty gold and won't come out until last, when the armpits are grafted together.

Now, I have to wrestle books until I figure out how to simultaneously commit a set-in sleeve and V-neck in the round, after which is omgwtfbbqsteek, then the shawl collar and lapels--all downhill after the omgwtfbbqsteek.

Hee!
