12/26/23 row 187-196 2x2 ribbing (10 rows) for a total of 24rows for 6cm of 2x2 ribbing; & final k row (row 197) before binding off. Now, it was time for the sleeves! Using my 3.5mm needles k rows 1-8 then decrease in the next two (2) rounds and continue decrease every 11th & 12th rounds thereafter six (6) more times where I finished up to the first of the repeats this day for sleeve 1 (through row 22). While I normally would do both sleeves at the same time, the ball of yarn I was using had so much yarn barf (yes, I did such a poor job of winding it into a ball this time! 😔😱😭🤦🤷), I felt that it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to do both sleeves at the same time this time around.
12/27/23 continued sleeves and decreases five (5) more times (row 23-82) for a total of 82 rows for 20.5 cm in the sleeves; then switching to my 3mm needles to start the 2x2 ribbing (row 83)
12/28/23 finish sleeve one for the remaining row 84-102 for a total of 20 rows for 5cm of 2x2 ribbing with a final k row (row 103) before binding off. Next up, sleeve two!🥳🎉🎊🙌🥰 where I did row 1-35 of the 2ne sleeve.
121/29/23 completed most of sleeve two! 🥳🎉🎊🙌 Just 11 rows and the bind off left!
12/30/23 finished sleeve two! 🥳🎉🎊 Here's what my completed sweater looks like (unblocked):
As you can see, it took me nearly 2.5 weeks to finish this sweater so, my goal of finishing three (3) sweaters is not going to happen. But, at lest I was able to finish 1 sweater (really a record for me to complete it in 2.5 weeks! 🥳🎉🎊🙌) and I'll be able to start on the next one shortly so, maybe I'll have 1.5 sweaters done by the new year ... 🤔🤞🍀
UP-DATE: And, here's what my sweater looks like on me:
