Well… Green Sleeve anyway…
The first sleeve is done, and now I’ve picked up stitches for the second one. Can I finish it by the end of this week? That’s the goal, but we’ll have to see how it goes.
There was more 1-1 twisted ribbing on the cuff, but it wasn’t as bad as the body – this was all in the round. I don’t mine knitting through the back of the loop, but purling through the back? Now that takes some serious skill. I will have to do more ptbl on the bands, but I won’t be there for a while yet.
I’ll worry about it when I get there!

It’s looking great! Twisted rib is time consuming but really looks nice. You’re moving right along on the sweater and I’m sure it will be done by the weekend.

This sweater is such fun! I’ve done purling through the back loop a few times – it is HARD!!! I’d rather knit than purl anyway, but add in a twisted rib and gah! But, it does look pretty when one is finished.

We have the same linoleum tiles in our kitchen, except ours were put down in the 1940’s!

I love the stripes! I don’t think I’ve ever had to ptbl, but it would be difficult.

Purling through the back loop IS a weird technique. The sweater looks great.
