Now, I mentioned earlier that I was having trouble with the sleeves of the manswerater. Last night I finally made myself sit down and start reknitting the sleeve that I ripped out. I massively decreased right off the bat in order to slim up the sleeve, and it looked quite nice! I got about a half-hour into the sleeve, and then… I saw it. The sleeve stitches were smaller than the body stitches.
I realized then that when I’d ripped the sleeve out, I put it right back on the needles – the needles that were a size smaller than the body, because I was already on the ribbing for the cuff.
So yeah, I ripped the sleeve out. Again. I may have even thrown it on the floor with an angry noise.
I may start the sleeve AGAIN tomorrow, but if I do, I’m starting on the other sleeve hole. This one is TOTALLY JINXED.
