I took a break from the very warm, heavy afghan I’m knitting to go back to my sweater, which is all finished except the sleeves. It’s not hot enough out for the A/C lately, but it’s too warm to be sitting with 3/4 of a thick afghan on your lap! After using 13mm needles and two strands of yarn, using one strand of yarn on 4.5mm needles is like switching from little-kid crayons to big-kid crayons. And it’s faster, too! I’m done with one cuff and partway through the second just while watching the first half of the football game last night. I finally decided to do the cuffs flared, like the pattern described, since I won’t be wearing the sweater often enough to be annoyed by the excess fabric.
