First sleeve more than halfway completed. The directions where the sleeves are joined are a little confusing, but I’ve favorited a few posts discussing it, so I can look those up later if I need to.

Surprise! I have long arms, apparently. I reached the 17” called for in the pattern for the first sleeve and I was 3” short, so I’m going to keep going for about 15 more rows. Oh well.

I finished the first sleeve at just about 20” and cast on the second sleeve. Almost there!

I’m hibernating this for now while I do a test knit due on July 10th. I can get back to this as soon as I finish that project.

Back in progress as of last night! I’m on sleeve two in the increases, about to do row 41 (increase row).

I’m almost done with sleeve 2. About 2 inches to go I think, so I can wrap that up tonight and move on to the owls!!

It’s off the needles, woohoo! I grafted the underarms and wove in a couple of ends, but I still have a few ends to weave, a little stitch repair work for the first sleeve, and blocking to do. Plus I need to get buttons. But the knitting is done!

Back into hibernation to await buttons and blocking sometime after the move. Ends are woven in, though!

I finally wove in the ends and blocked it! Hurray! I decided that I’m just incapable of adding buttons due to chronic laziness. Oh well.
