i'm working on this sweater for my daughter and i'm about to finish with the sleeves but i have one question.
Color Me Lovely (http://joann.com/content/projects/projectsDisplay.jhtml?articlePath=/content/projects/static/new/color_me_lovely_sweater.jhtml&CATID=25293)
Making sleeves: Cast on 28 (32, 34, 38) sts. Work even in St st until piece measures 6-1/2 (8, 8-1/2, 9-1/4)" from beg, or desired 3/4-sleeve length to underarm, end with WS row.
Sleeve cap shaping: Bind off 2 (2, 3, 3) sts at beg of next 2 rows. Dec 1 st at beg and end of every other row 4 (4, 4, 5) times-16 (20, 20, 22) sts remain. Bind off 5 (6, 6, 7) sts at beg of next 2 rows. Work 1 row even on remaining 6 (8, 8, 8) sts. Bind off
it says to make the sleeves 3/4 sleeve lenght but i want to me it full length. but now when i do the sleeve cap would it make it full length by the time it is done??? i dont want to knit the sleeves to full length then have them be too long after i'm done with the sleeve cap shaping.
and also what does set in sleeves mean??
