Sleeve Caps

First off I want to say thank you to everyone for your comments and support. There are so many other things that could be happening that are far worse then having a baby. She's got a good heart and will be a great mom. There are just those moments where you wish she could have enjoyed the wonders of the world, let her self be selfish before being slammed with responsibility.

Well...lets move on to knitting.

Thermal sleeves have transformed into sleeves with armhole bind-offs.



Here is the full sleeve on my arm. The recommended length to armhole bind-off is 19.5 inches, but I pushed another .5 inch out. I like the sleeve to rest on the meaty part of my palm. I know, I'm odd that way.



This next part should knit fairly quick. Only working with 88 stitches for the sleeve caps...well, that is, it's done twice - then off the needles and on to the neck band, blocking and seaming. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

On the spinning side, I soaked the last of the Shetland wool and I think I'll delve into dying this weekend.

We have a 12th BDay party this Saturday for my son. I'm so excited for him. I'll take plenty of pictures and post about the party once I recover from the sugar comma.

Happy Friday and Knit-On!!

Happy birthday to young E! (I almost wrote, little E, but he's bigger than many adults!)

The sleeves look great, and they look like a perfect fit, too.
