Yarn-Over, Ligature… Same Difference.
lig·a·ture [lig-uh-cher, -choor] noun. — Printing. a character or type combining two or more letters. (Yarn overs aren't all that different)

    Suggestion from Mom for Thermal. when you get to the neck, where you cast off, and need to pick up again later for ribbing...

    what I have done instead of casting off, is to slide the stitches onto a stitch holder (the thing that looks like a huge knitting needle safety pin).

    that way when you go to pick up the stitches, they are right there waiting for you.

    I know it's supposed to be a sweater and all but it actually looks neat with the arm separated from the body of the shirt.

    And the shirt. wow. :)
