Do and redo.

I have been struggling this year with time change.  I have woken all week at 3 and 4 o'clock and been wide awake and ready to start the day.  It has been frustrating.  I was watching a QI clip yesterday where they happened to discuss setting an internal alarm to wake at a certain time.  I have done this all my life as I needed to or wanted to and was always surprised at how well it works for me.  I thought "hey, I should try that ".  So, I told myself that I needed to get up and 5:30 and no later.  You know what?  It worked.  I woke at 5:30 and not before! I am doing it again tonight.  

It was an interesting day yesterday.  Knitting went good and not so good.  I sorted out how I was going to have to deal with the sleeve.  I decreased severely on the last couple rows of the white stripe.  The plan was to knit a ribbed cuff so I did that.  And then...


 I took it off.  I had forgotten to change needle sizes and it was looking loose and floppy.  On a loose and floppy sleeve this is not a good look.  

I reknit it on a much smaller needle.  


 
The result?  A very very nice slightly belled sleeve.  Sleeve 2 starts today.
