It is All About Short Rows

I am making progress on my sweater backlog so I picked up another sweater to work on.  The Pecan Crush has been pretty easy knitting so far.  I stopped at the bottom hem shaping and had to do some research on how to proceed next.

The entire bottom section uses short rows for shaping.  I was lucky to find that Carol Feller, the designer of the sweater, has a free mini-class on Craftsy on short rows.

The sweater construction is pretty ingenious and after watching the class, I was able to work the first section of the hem.  I placed a lifeline in red from the start of the process to the part where it finishes and it is a cool wedge.

You can see that the bottom is starting to take shape on the sweater.
