Note to self for future reference: When spending quality time with your good buddy Mr.
Nyquil, perhaps you should avoid trying to set sleeves into the sweater you are constructing.
What did I
do try to do last night? I finished knitting the sleeves (two at same time) and began setting them into the sweater. Care to guess how that went? My buddy, Mr.
Nyquil (remember him?) was a
huge help in this endeavor. The kind of huge that a two year old might be with a needle and yarn. As a matter of fact, that's what it looked like. It looked like I had given the Youngest the project and said - go for it!
So. This afternoon I took another go at it and it's much better. Far from perfect, but better. I've decided that I really don't like doing sleeves this way. Next time I will alter the pattern and pick up the stitches and do sleeves in the round in order to avoid this whole disaster.
Next time, I will invite Mr.
Dayquil over and forbid Mr.
Nyquil from being in the vicinity of the entire project.
Tonight I will begin on the lace and we'll see what happens. Wish me luck, being sick really sucks.
