It is minus 18 windchill this morning — brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll be wearing my long johns today!Â
Sleeve island seems like a temperate getaway. I am actually finding it a pleasant respite. Who knew? I have done 1.5 inches out of 21.5 inches, so I have a L-O-O-O-O-N-G way to go, but I’m enjoying it. The good thing about top down sleeves is that they just keep getting get smaller!
Tonight I teach a class, so very little knitting will get done. Tomorrow night I’m out with the girls. Thursday is “knit night,” though not that much knitting takes place (too much talking and eating!). So, my knitting time will be severely curtailed until the weekend. Stay warm, my Minnesota friends! 🙂
In thinking about your particular sleeve island, I was reminded of knitting AS’s Henry VIII a number of years ago. The body and 1.75 sleeves were completed when it was picked up to show it off to my own self. It was immediately obvious I had forgotten to turn the chart upside down for the second sleeve. The project languished in the abandoned projects file for at least 4 years before I picked it up and re-knit the sleeve. That was a very painful mistake (LOL).

I feel your pain, Gale.

From Susan — Gale, THAT would be a major bummer. At least you went back to it and made the change.
