I have officially completed the first sleeve of my Step by Step Cardigan! It feels so good to be getting closer. I’ve put the stitches for the second sleeve on my needles but haven’t started truly working on it yet. I’m trying to keep up the momentum and not succumb to second sleeve syndrome.

I’m also trying not to be too daunted by the button band. It’ll be my first and, from what I’m seeing in other project notes, it sounds tedious. But I will persevere and finish this sweater. Hopefully while it’s still cold.
