Sunday is the best day

It's a dreary dark day, I am so tired of rain. It has rained every night for a week. The husband is home and I finished a sleeve, sunday is the best day of the week!

Well needless to say I'm not happy with the sleeve but it's okay.
One sleeve down
I decided on a 3/4 sleeve, but i decreased to much near the end and it puckers funny. It's not noticable if I'm wearing it and if I have it on correctly, but it looks odd if i dont wear it just so. Oh well!! I need to let go of my perfectionism sometimes. You can kinda see my new hair.

In my spare moments I worked on this to give my hands a break.
To the heel flap

I just adore trekking. I am supposed to be quilting right now people.

Can't.
Put.
Down.
Needles.

The sweater's coming along nicely! I have a problem with trying to be super-perfect too. I just need to decide when it will be ok to let a mistake go, and when I need to rip it back because it will bother me forever. =)

Thanks for posting a pic! My Essential stripe sleeves turned out baggy and I didn't want them to. I got down to the elbow and frogged, and then again with more decreases, frogged again, now I'm having cap sleeves and leftover yarn. I'm hoping to finish up in the next few weeks, and I'll send a pic when I do.

I like the sweater! Love the new blog look --great work!
