Today.
It used to take me two days to do a sleeve but now it is three and sometimes four. Sigh. Oh well. At least I can knit.
I could knit more. In my heart I want to knit more. However if I do, my hands will suffer. I am knitting on short needles and small circumference things. That often sends my hands into a winters worth of irritation. I debated about digging out dpns, but I do not have any in the size I need here. It means that I have to knit very purposefully to work to keep my hands relaxed,
So far, so good.
I occasionally think about knitting sleeves separately, two at a time, in the round and sewing them on. Just writing that down sends shivers down my spine. It isn't the sewing in that gives me shivers. I like sewing knits together. It's the separate part. Not being able to try things on as I go would drive me batty.
I would like to get this sleeve finished today but I keep an open mind. Weather varies and so do my hands. I will let my hands be the boss. Right now, my hands need that second cup of coffee. Or maybe tea. A good strong cup of tea may be nice.
Wait. Who am I turning into? 🤔
