Fiber Fool

All Aboard!

9/22/2005

I’m setting sail for sleeve island… No ETA for my return from sleeve island, but hopefully it won’t be too long of a cruise.

Seeing as this is my first ever trip to sleeve island I’m not sure if I’ll develop sea legs or sea sickness. Anyone have any tips to ensure that I return from sleeve island?

If you have 2 needles the same size, I would recommend doing both sleeves concurrently, as many of us weary after one sleeve and dread the second. Knitting them simultaneously alleviates that issue. Of course if they are knit flat you can put both on the same needle, just be careful to keep track which ball of yarn is used for each!

Other than that, order a tall cool drink from the cabana boy and enjoy the ride!
