Moving right along

Sleeve #1 is done,

and sleeve #2 is started and cuffed. And no, I am NOT an amazingly fast knitter. Believe me when I say that I literally did nothing else yesterday.

I still maintain that one of my least favorite things about knitting is sleeve increases. They suck. They have to suck, because if they didn’t, the other alternative would be that I’m incompetent. As hard as I try, I never space them perfectly.

I think I’m going to need another skein of the blue (which my LYS still has), and HAPPY DAY!!!!, I found another local yarn store that has the new color of Silky Tweed that I think will be perfect for the “H”. I have a yellow Silky Wool, that is no where near the same thickness, despite what the label says, and I have a pinky/beige Silky Tweed that I was going to try and make work. BUT, there is a new color out now that is a straw yellow sort of color, and Village Yarns has it! I’m so happy.

So I’ll be picking those up today, sometime after my physical therapy appointment.
