Featuring one long sleeve.
Not sure about needing to knit a second one of those. It's A LOT of 1x1 ribbing, people. Perfect for phone knitting but sort of boring otherwise.
It was a rocky, emotional weekend for a lot of us. Today started with sad news, which didn't help, but was not a complete surprise. So many sad days are that way. We know it's coming, we think we're ready. Then it happens and we're hit sideways. Left struggling to right ourselves, pick up the pieces, and remember what is truly important.
Thankfully,I have gotten better at that last bit. Thanks mostly to amazing friends, who know me and still manage to like me. No idea how that works. I don't even like me, but whatever. We know you people have dodgy taste. You're reading me. Hello!*
Amazing how healthy relationships can help heal a girl.
Just sayin'...
Since this is the knitting/spinning blog and not my cathartic blog, there will be handspun yarn soon. It's done and everything. Unlike a certain second sleeve...
Oh dear. I'm sorry you've had more sad news, sweetie.

Sorry about the bad news:(
I like the sleeve. Maybe you'll find time to chat on the phone and knit another one.

Sorry that you had more sad news. You're right, though... healthy relationships are very healing. Glad that you have some in your life.

I'm sorry to hear about the sad news, but glad you have folks who are near & dear to lean on.
Second Sleeve? I sense a Summer of Sleeves in the making!

Huggles. I love the pink sleeve, but I thought you still had two arms?

More bad news? So sorry to hear that. Not what you need, that is for sure.
The pink sleeve is very pretty. But you kinda need two...?
Take care.
xoxo

I'm sorry you have had bad news.
Yup, still reading even though the knitting mojo has taken a vacation. I am living vicariously through your lovely knitting.

A hug. And I hope you'll get to spend some quality phone time with some of your friends so you can get a second sleeve.

Hey, I'm back! What did I miss? Just kidding. Hi, Cookie! I completely ditched blogland, both reading and writing, back in October. I've quite enjoyed the vacation. Hey, are we doing anything Crankywise for the Olympics? Hmm, do I knit or spin? Life has been both good and bad and I think I'm ready for some kind of challenge. Buck up, babe. We're here for you. Let me know if I need to send chocolate.

The pink is yummy despite the 1x1.
I am so very sorry for your sad news. xox

I'm sorry about sad news, you most certainly don't need anymore.
I must also second (or third) the notion of two arms, two sleeves. Dull but necessary. And it's lovely pink yummyness.

You could always give it to someone with only one arm?

You live in California, sweetie. A one-armed sweater could be the newest fashion fad...

I'm sorry to hear you got hit by more sad news. You're due a break, I think.
Sleeves are bad enough, but RIBBED sleeves? You are a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
