This first sweater is starting to feel very real!
This week brought a pretty big milestone: I finished Sleeve #1!
Since this is my first sweater, there’s something especially satisfying about finishing an entire sleeve. I started this project knowing there would be a lot of new-to-me knitting along the way, and now I have one full sleeve to show for it.
I filmed a quick video of the finished sleeve so you can see how it’s coming along:
And, of course, I didn’t spend much time celebrating before starting the next challenge. 😂
Sleeve #2 Is Underway
After finishing Sleeve #1, I picked up the stitches for Sleeve #2 and got started.
I’m currently about 12 rounds into the second sleeve, so there’s still plenty of knitting ahead. But picking up those stitches and actually starting Sleeve #2 felt like another little milestone.
The nice thing about the second sleeve is that I already know what I’m doing. I’ve worked through the shaping, decreases and construction on Sleeve #1, so I’m hoping Sleeve #2 will move along a little more smoothly.
I can see the finish line coming into view.
One sleeve is finished. The second one is underway. And then blocking and wearing.
For my first sweater, I’m pretty happy with that progress.
Now, back to Sleeve #2!
