Week 2 of the KAL


The summer KAL is well under way over at luvinthemommyhood blog.  My pattern initially called for knitting the body, then the sleeves.  But since I am short on yarn and not exactly sure how I want to do the sleeves so I did a provisional cast on.  And I am so glad that I did, because my next step is to begin the lovely detail!!!  How exciting.

I never knew a sweater could come together so quickly, but I'm guessing that beautiful yarn and a great pattern is the recipe for a quick knit.  All in all I am really excited to wear this.....I'm even contemplating  on holding off starting the Shawl Mystery KAL just so I can get it done.....But we'll see....once the first clue comes out I'm probably gonna cave and start that too.  haha

But my question to you.......

should I knit the sleeves short with a little pleat.....or maybe a tear drop and a little button??

what are you thoughts??

    As for the sleeve...um, any option that has a button and I'm sold ;)
