Thanks for your support regarding the sleeve mishap, guys! Linn: yes, the armhole is as it should be, so there seems to be no mistakes in the front and back patterns.
After sitting around and whining about my sleeve at the SnB meeting at
Marias Garn yesterday, I feel better about it today. For three reasons:
1) bad moods never sticks with me, after a bit of a moan I leave them behind
2) I bought some new yarn for the fisherman's jumper, I really want to knit someting with good, honest wool for a change
3) I swatched some Araucania Nature Wool for a project I've been longing to do for ages
And there really is a fourth reason, too: I remembered that knitting is something I do for fun. As soon as it annoys me I need to bring some enjoyment into it again. A good recipe for that is to put the annoying bits to the side for a while and do something else.
That sure is a pretty yarn. And it's wool.
