Cardigan - I want you body and sleeve

[wayfaringwordhack]

The other day, I finished up the main body of the cardigan.  That was the simplest part.  I then started on the first sleeve, and while there is nothing complicated in its construction, a) I am sick, b) it takes more attention to what you are doing because you need to keep track of rows according to your size option and specific repeats as you work in the round.

With the ick heavily upon me, I am not really enjoying the work and just want it over with.  Of course, setting it aside is an option (and a smart one if Brain Fuddle makes me make mistakes), but I would really like to get it done before we travel.

The other "meh" thing about it is that I know the cardigan will not look nice on me.  The color is just so wrong for my skin-tone.  If it were a prettier color (for me; the colorway in and of itself is lovely), it would bring me more joy to see it coming together.

Maybe it'll surprise you and look good on you after all?

Funny you should say that. Today I realized that once again, my glasses make things yellower than they are; and I when I put the sleeve on, against my hand, the color wasn't too bad. It is not flattering, but it isn't awful either. :P
