This is probably just being knit-picky (hehehe, sorry couldn't resist),
but I need some advice on making some sleeves for my sweater.

Although the rest of the sweater drapes very nicely, the shoulder area
seems to stretch out, and seeing those stretched out stitches and what's
underneath really irks me.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there something I can be doing better?
Just wondering!

Also, are you knitting circ or straight?

Hi Allaya,
It could be your body shape. I find I have 'thick' shoulders - that is the
area across my back at the shoulder level seems to be thick. As a result,
some knitted fabrics tend to pull at that location. It seems to depend on
whether I have allowed sufficeint ease in the sweater, as well as yarn type
and sleeve style. Hope this helps.
