Once I finished my Mermaid Scales Shortie Socks, I decided it was time to give my sweater some serious attention. And by “some serious attention,” I mean I have been solely knitting on Sleeve #1 ever since.
No socks. No new cast-ons. No distractions. Just sleeve knitting.
I’m now over halfway through the sleeve decreases, which feels like a pretty significant milestone. Sleeves can sometimes feel like they take forever, but seeing the number of stitches steadily decrease makes it much easier to feel like I’m actually getting somewhere.
At this point, I’m definitely in the home stretch for the first sleeve. There’s still knitting to do, of course, but I can finally see the finish line getting closer.
Once Sleeve #1 is finished, I’ll move on to Sleeve #2. And then, eventually, this sweater might actually become something I can wear!
For now, though, I’m enjoying the rhythm of the decreases and watching this sweater slowly come together one round at a time.
