Putting my thoughts out there in a podcast must be more anxiety inducing than I expected. I went to bed early and woke in the middle of the night. That hasn’t happened in a while.
I never thought I would be saying this, but I’m thankful that it’s budget week at work. Numbers are so solid and reassuring. And I’m always thankful for my job, which I enjoy as much as I appreciate.
So I am up in the wee hours of the AM, steeping some nutritious and relaxing tea and contemplating my Weekender progress.
I’m not at all sure about it. The sleeve seems too narrow, I have started the cuff but now it looks too short, and I gave up on the fussy and (in my mind) completely unnecessary Kitchener stitch bind off. I’m hoping this is one of those designs that looks better on. I can always make an extra long ribbing at the cuff. This design is forgiving that way.
I haven’t started Vanishing Fleece by Clara Parkes, but if I’m in for a long night, I may as well get started. Or, I think I will catch up my blog reading first. Yay!

I love the color of your sweater! Have you tried shimmying your arm into the sleeve? If you can it will answer your questions:)

I haven’t yet. I’m nervous about knocking the needles out. I hate picking up stitches. I will be done with that cuff soon and I’ll try it!

I love it. I think it just looks small because the sweater has so much postiive ease. good call on nixing the kitchener sleeves.

It is looking great! Hope it does work out OK – you are right that you can just extend out the ribbing if need be.

That’s a lovely color, and the sweater is looking great! I too hope the sleeves do end up fitting. If not, well, at least there are a couple of ways to fix them…

I’m horrible at sleeves. I cheat and knit vests only. Your sweater will be great!
