Started sleeve number two yesterday. I was really nervous about this pattern but it’s really easy. It’s going much quicker now I’ve mastered the art of the magic loop!

I noticed yesterday that I’d done the first arm wrong. I increased every 3 rows instead of every 4. It’s not a big issue because it looks ok. I’m just worried that the cuffs are too narrow for Roo but I’m seeing him Sunday so I can try them out then…

I managed to join the sleeves to the main body without issues. The only problem is I got a bit carried away on the second sleeve and the dark green is slightly longer than in the first sleeve. I’m hoping no one notices…

So I’ve got to the top of the seeds section. I’m thinking about grafting the armpits now before I carry on because the dpns that are holding the stitches are getting in the way…

So I decided to do the Kitchener joins at one am. Probably not the best idea in the world… One of the armpits is ok but the other looks like a dog’s dinner… I can’t understand why I ended up with holes each side of my seams though so I’ve just whip stitched them together.
