the blue blog archives: the second circle of sleeve hell

Nbat is next in my project wrap-up visit to sleeve hell. The first sleeve is finished and the second is well underway.

I've taken to slipping on my pajamas right after the boys go to bed and knitting away until I'm tired, but not too tired to read a couple of chapters of Book 6. After a couple nights, I'm halfway through both sleeve and book!

Not sure how these sleeves will fit. I suspect they might be a little long. Of course, I won't be able to say for sure until I finish the dang intarsia panel on the front of the tee and can set the sleeves in. Why am I avoiding finishing it?!

Hi Alison! I've been thinking of making an NBAT with long sleeves - is that worked into the pattern? And if not, will you be adding it for the design challenged among us? Love the design! Thanks!

I vote for long sleeve directions, too! Can't wait to see the finished sweater.

Oh yeah, I'll definitely be writing out what I've done with the sleeves once I'm done. I've got all the knitting to finish, then the weasley pattern to do and then I'll get to it. I promise!
