Finished the main body section and put the sts on holders. Ready to cast on the monosleeve, hopefully tonight!

Monosleeve is in progress! Unfortunately, I cast on with my larger needles (US5?), before remembering to switch down to my smaller ones (US2?), so the cuff looks a bit loose at the edge. I’m hoping it will even out with rinsing, blocking, and wearing.

I’m making the sweater to be slightly oversized, but I wanted the sleeves to be slim, so I worked one full repeat of Check pattern, and then stated working increases on the fourth row of the second repeat of Check. I’m working increases every fourth row now, roughly following directions for the next size down. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll feel less bad having to rip the sleeve back since it’s going much more quickly than the body.
