One down...

Yes my friends... that is one completed sleeve. Just one more, then some simple button bands, and this puppy is finished! When I started this cardigan, I intended to knit it exactly as written - no mods. Then at the underarms, I read the pattern wrong and cast on the wrong number of stitches. In the end, I'm glad I did - I think it's going to fit better now - but it meant I had to do even more modding with the body decreases.

Still... I intended to do the sleeves as written. In the pattern, they are full length with a thick, fold-over cuff. It looks really cute.. but as I got knitting, I got thinking. While I don't mind a full-length sleeve, this one is knit in worsted/aran. Which means it's already pretty thick and warm. That fold-over would just be bulky and excessive. Plus... I usually end up pushing up my full length sleeves.

If this was a full-length pajama cardi... I might still go full-length on the sleeves. But it's a flirty, cropped cardi... for me, I think 3/4 is the best option! so that's what I've got. (It also means I could finish the sleeve sooner! Win-win!)

Now... to cast on for that second sleeve....
