It didn’t take long for me to know that I’d made the right choice to rip out the sleeve and start over with different needles. Literally, just picking up the stitches to knit the sleeve told me things were going to be better, and every row just further proved this… Read More »The double work paid off.
I’d planned to do an update on how my trip to sleeve-island is going (better), but then the cat wanted many snuggles. And for the sake of household peace I could not deny her this thing.
