Progress on my sweater


 Will I ever get cross wise and length wise gauge right?!?? Re knit the sleeve again. How many decrease rows do I need to get in the next 4 1/2 inches? These sleeves will look good on an orangutan! Do some math, rip the sleeve back to the bottom of the arm pit and do a decrease row every 5 th row instead of 8 th. So far so good. A few really hot days a good day to stay in in the AC and knit, a few windy days a good day to stay in and knit, a rainy day a good day to stay in and knit.  Do I need much of an excuse to knit??—Ann—

Your background quilt is beautiful! Love the yarn you’re using for this sweater. It certainly isn’t sweater weather here, but good days to stay in and see!

The knitting math gets me every time I start a sleeve but it sounds like you have a plan. And I agree, doesn’t take much to nudge me to stay inside and knit.
