A Change-Over
Dear Aunt Daisy, We all know that the sleeves of handknitted jumpers or cardigans wear out first. Well, when the elbow part gets very thin, before there is a hole worn tight through, I take both sleeves out and change them round, putting the right sleeve in the left arm-hole, and the left sleeve in the right arm-hole, so that the weak part comes in the front, and the strong part at the back. The sleeve then lasts twice as long, and looks better than if darned. It is best to do this just before washing. You will understand what I mean.-Always listening, Pokeno,
