My Stashbustin’ #37 or my Nutmeg sweater finally has matching sleeves!
After yesterday’s sleeve folly, I worked all night to finish both sleeves. Gotta love the speed of bulky yarn. I chose to knit garter ribbed cuffs on both sleeves. It really provided a nice and neat finish to the sleeve and kept it from rolling
Now I just have to cruise along on the body section and I’ll be finished! I’ll work the same garter rib at the hem of the sweater. I still have 1 1/3 skein of yarn left so now worries about running out of yarn. It’s taken a turn for the cold here in Kansas so I’m itching to wear this sweater!!
Happy Knitting!

Wow, you flew through that sleeve. Your sweater looks terrific and it sounds like your timing with the weather is perfect.
ok, i’m jealous. i saw where you were yesterday, so that means in a couple of days you knit half the 2nd sleeve and reworked the whole first sleeve. That’s amazing!
sorry, that would be in one day, not even a couple of days!
Bulky yarn + big needles + netflix = crazy fast progress
lol i’m exactly the opposite right now – light worsted yarn on smaller than recommended needles for a double knit scarf…omg it’s taking forever!
Looks like you’re going to have a super cozy sweater soon! I’m jealous 🙂
Wow, that is awesomely fast! We’re in for a wickedly cold weekend here too; kinda wish I had a bulky sweater on the needles!
Looks terrific. How did you diagnose and solve your sleeve issue? Inquiring minds want to know….
I knew something was wrong with the k2tbl almost from the beginning, but I ignored it. It just looked bumpy and wrong. After starting the second sleeve and seeing the k2tog….I knew I had to fix the first sleeve. Always trust your instincts!’
