This procedure is quite common here in Europe among advanced knitters, although none of the patterns would mentioned this.<br />My mentor f.e. who is taylor doesn't do it, but she allways makes just shoulder shaping on fronts 2cm later than for back. She explained to me that this is necessary in order to balance the total lenght of knit between fronts and backs otherwise the backs would always hang out for few cm. Actually, I saw this quite often on many projects, which had not have very close fit. <br />Regards<br />SnjezanaSnježana Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939660194727510564noreply@blogger.com
