Sleeve Two!

Sleeve one (complete):

Sleeve two (started):

Sleeves together:

So, progress. Once I complete sleeve two, I then add the ribbing onto the bottoms of both (without the detour into Kitchener stitch). And then I put them all together. To finish, I knit the collar. 

In other words, it's getting there. Will I finish before the weather warms up? Well, before the weather warms up in Ohio, as that ship has already sailed for SoCal. (It's January, and yet as I write this at 4 PM on Sunday, I'm sitting in shorts and a short sleeved shirt with my window wide open.) 

I'll keep plugging away on it. 

(It's been a few weeks since I linked to the pattern, so here it is in case you want to knit yourself one: When Harry Met Lucy.)

    In my mind I picture it staying cold enough for a sweater in Ohio for a long time yet!

    I have no fears of Ohio weather turning toasty warm any time soon. Where I live in New York State, we will have a low of -2 Friday night/ Saturday and a high of 8 above for Saturday. You have time.

      It is a nice color. It was what he requested.

    Nice progress, and yes, I’m sure it’s going to be cold in Ohio for awhile. Currently 32°F on Ling Island, expecting temperatures to drop tonight to 17°. Spring is a long way off.

      It feels like it's almost here for us. So, I worry.

    This is Birgit…this is looking so good and warm. It’s supposed to be -8C today with, possibly, more snow

    It's awesome you're making progress. I just finished a baby pig and am starting on a cow. Crocheting is a lifesaver this bitterly cold winter.
