Does This Look Stupid?
Howdie..
Well after being incredibly annoyed that my sleeves were a tiny inch too short.. I decided that before I go taking the entire thing apart and reknitting the sleeves.. I'd try picking up the stitches around the end of the sleeves and adding an inch to them that way.... But the question is.. does this look stupid? Don't be shy either.. I want honest (even tactless) opinions.
Click the pictures if you'd like to see a more close up shot of them..
Here it is on me..
Trying this thing on with just safetypins to close it looks pretty weird... I can't wait till I have my zipper..
This picture was a bit big to post.

I wouldn't be happy with it.
My suggestion would be to do the new cuffs in a different pattern (I would go with seed stitch, because I just like the way it looks)... In trying to do it in the same rib pattern as the rest of the sleeve, the loss of the stitch offsets the pattern, and it's obvious that it was an after thought.

Hmm.. yes.. seedstitch would make sense because of the zipper band.. maybe I'll try that..

But keep in mind that seed stitch isn't stretchy at all like ribbing is. That might be a factor to consider..

i think it looks nice... the off-set stitches just make it look like a cuff to me which is basically what it is.

I don't think it looks stupid, as much as I can tell online. It just looks like a cuff to me.

Granted... it's not as stretchy as the ribbing, but that little bit only ever has to fit over your hand, so I don't think it'd be a huge issue.

Thanks to everyone who has left me opinions : ) (And the compliments were extra nice too)
I'm probably gonna leave it as is.. but I might still try out the seedstitch thing to see if I like it better.. If I don't.. I can always knit it ribbed again.
