Bitten By The Sleeve Curse Again

Sleve I and Sleeve II Once again, I'm finding myself on the Sleeve Island. I finally understood that part of EZ's instructions on how to get started with the shaping. And I'm knitting along merrily, and then at some point I try on the body to see how it feels. Umm . . . it seems that the current sleeves are skin-tight around my wrists. This isn't good, because I wear turtlenecks (especially those with some ease) during the winter.

Sleeve I Sleeve II

You'll see that Sleeve I, on the left, measures 3". That's way, way too small, even with my small wrists. Sleeve II will give me that ease that I need plus enable me to wear my turtlenecks and not feel so uncomfortable. Now I just have to get both sleeves reknitted and completed this weekend so I can move on. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to grok that saddle shoulder shaping after I finish the vertical decreases . . .

I'm doing a bit of stash housecleaning, so I have some spinning items up for sale. There will be more going up for sale, such as handspun yarn and extra magazines. I take PayPal, and you pay shipping (I don't have a job currently, so I can't afford to pay shipping charges) and insurance (if you want it). I'm hoping to learn how to make stitch markers, so eventually I will have these available, if I can come out with good designs. There's a beading store here in Bowie that is relocating to the shopping center right by my home, so I hope to find good stuff there.
