Three Quarters of a 3/4 inch sleeve
The Friday before Labor Day, I sprinted into the LYS, picked out the five skeins of Cascade "The Heathers" in perhaps five whole minutes, ran next door to order a pizza for my lunch while the saleswoman balled the yarn and was on the road to San Diego thirty minutes later with my new yarn, a photo copy of the pattern, my needles and everything else needed for one of Miss E's dance competitions.
On Saturday during the competition I knit the swatch shown. My stitch gauge is about an inch and half too large. I think this is going to be okay as I am not busty but a little chubbier than I should be given the size of my bust-line.
The sleeve was started Sunday. And Monday. I've ripped and re-knit countless times. For some reason I was just having a lot of trouble keeping track of the moss stitch. But I have it now and am only about 1" away from the shaping which I'm knit once I'm done with LJ.
I'm not completely happy with the evenness of the stitches but when am I ever? That said, I really don't think it's that bad either and may block out. Will I actually have a first sweater that is actually wearable. Stay tuned to find out!
