And by Sunday, I had this:
For the sleeves, I ended up casting on 6 fewer stitches than were called for because I have very skinny wrists and wanted the sleeves to be quite fitted. And because I wanted to end up with the same number of stitches called for in the pattern at the top of the sleeve when I started shaping the sleeve cap, I had to readjust a little bit. It wasn't too hard -- instead of doing an increase row every 10 rows 14 times, I did an increase row every 10 rows 5 times, then an increase row every 8 rows 12 times. That allowed for a skinny wrist, but normal-sized sleeve cap.
My goal is to have Arisaig all seamed up and finished by the time Neill and I head out to Washington DC for a wedding next Wednesday, leaving enough time to swatch and start a yet-to-be-determined airplane-knitting project. The deadline is stressing me out!
