We Have A Sleeve

I had to attach a new hank of yarn on the Naughty Sweater anyway so decided I would hop onto Sleeve Island instead. I finished the sleeve this week. It is 3 inches shorter in length than the pattern directions state. I am petite and have short arms.

I am loving the ability to try on the sweater as I knit since it is a top down model. I decided to do the antler motif near the cuff. I am not entirely sold on the 1x1 ribbing on the cuff. But I am not sure a 2x2 ribbing would look any better. I will reserve judgement until the end. The sleeves might look better when I actually have 2 of them on a completed sweater. I did do an Italian tubular bind off which I think went well.

I do believe the new knitting bag is making this sweater behave much better.
