I promised a post about sweater progress, so here I present to you: a sleeve!

I finished the first sleeve on my Farmhouse Cardigan a couple of days after we got back home from our trip to Wisconsin. It was nice to get back to the larger projects again!

I always have to knit at least an inch or two longer than patterns call for because of my disproportionately long arms, but at this gauge (4sts/inch), that really doesn’t take very long at all. Stockinette-in-the-round is great for mindlessly knitting while watching a TV show or listening to a podcast; my new two-color brioche + double-knit scarf definitely requires more attention than that!
So anyway, there’s where I am with the Farmhouse Cardigan – finished with sleeve number one, and about to cast on for sleeve number two. Hooray!

I’m hoping that by next week, I’ll have the second sleeve finished and can knit on the yoke – maybe I’ll have a new sweater before the end of the month!
Looking good and very cozy! You left WI just in time — it has been hot as blazes and sooo humid. I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog lately — both the project posts and the knitting adjacent talk. Thank you!
Yeah, we’ve been getting quite a bit of heat and humidity in Western NY, too – we’re actually under a heat advisory for this weekend because the heat index is supposed to be up near 110!! (Thank goodness for air-conditioning, I guess!)
And thank you! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. I guess by now people know I’m not someone who “just sticks to her knitting” so maybe I’m scaring a few folks away, but I’m fine with that :)
