Sleeve Island

I’m on Sleeve Island! I’ve got one sleeve down, and here pictured is the second sleeve.

I know why they call it Sleeve Island. The rows just keep getting longer and longer, and it feels like you’re stuck in an island, or a black hole. It feels like, no matter how long you knit, the sleeve is still not growing any longer. Sigh.

But thankfully this pattern has been very kind to me. It’s not all stockinette. And the purly diamonds pattern breaks the monotonousness a LOT. It has been a quick knit, that by the time boredom start to set in, I’m already on the last piece. Being on the last piece, the thrill of getting close to the finish line comes in. (Lets just pretend for the moment that there is no weaving of end nor seaming to speak of.) I just can’t wait to finish this! Must. Keep. Knitting.
