shaping a sleeve cap with short rows discussion

 Sometimes it is really challenging to see what is going on with a special technique, like shaping a sleeve cap with short rows, while the knitting is on the needles.  Here I try to describe what is happening when working this technique to shape a sleeve cap and how to keep track of where you are.  Leave me a comment if you have any questions, here, or join me in facebook at www.facebook.com/knittingclasses
