A Second Set of Sleeves

Shhhh! Be very quiet... I'm trying to quietly sneak away from Sleeve Island. I've packed my knitting bag and have slipped it into the little boat that I tied up under the dock. As soon as it gets dark I'm planning to make my escape.

I'm making my get away with not one, but two, whole pairs of sleeves tucked into my knitting bag. Margot and Fitzgerald are ready to meet me on the mainland.

Almost Perfect Fitzgerald Sleeve

I just gotta say, I am truly impresed with how the striping matched up. I spent about 15 minutes pain-stakingly picking out just the right skeins to do the sleeves with so they would match up just right and be oerfect for my stripe-perfection demanding husband.

Everytime he sat down next to me as I was working on the second sleeve I would line the two pieces up and say "See? See how incredibly matched up and beautiful those are? This, my friend, is true love!"

John responded by telling me, with a sneaky little grin, "Yeah, they look great -- people might even think that I bought it at the store."

Yes, he did duck and move quickly after he said that.

That said, I do have some concern about the length of these sleeves, but since the sweater has a dropped shoulder, I'm probably getting concerned over nothing (I'm not concerned about not having enough yarn, so I have to worry about something).

What next? Not sure. It has just occurred to me that I have a few Christmas presents that need to be attended to, given that there's really only 18 knitting days until the big holiday arrives...
