UPCOMING THEMES

Not much progress around here in the past week, and I'm losing momentum... So, to avoid the very real danger of giving up before this sweater gets both its sleeves: Here I am, starting my magic loop, two-at-a-time, top-down sleeves. These are a lot of firsts for me, and I might be a little terrified :D
Looks gorgeous! You got this! Knitting sleeves TAAT in magic loop is my preferred method for sweaters. It might take a bit, but you'll end up with perfect length sleeves and when you're done, you can wear it immediately!
@thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee, @MrsDoyle, @CutexKitty, thank you so much for the good vibes and TAAT appreciation! The truth is, that I already frogged and restarted once because (a) I created huge ladders and (b) I split the sleeves at the wrong place, so I couldn't work my decreases properly. And I really need to think carefully about what goes where when I put the work down and pick it up again. Definitely not going to watch TV while working on this one, lol
