celticdragonfly: (Firefly -River - I'll knit)

I am continuing to work on the Celtic Braids cardigan. It's a bit nerve-wracking - despite having done multiple baby sweaters and kid sweaters, this is the first one for me - my first set of adult sleeves.

I'm at the point on the sweater sleeve where I think I want to stop doing reductions every 3 rows and start doing them every 2 rows. The pattern had called for every 4 rows - clearly that would have given me sleeves for a gorilla.

Before I go ahead with that decision, I'm spending time working on finishing details. This is to make it easier to try things on and get a clearer idea of how the finished garment will look, and make the decisions easier.

Yeah, right, you didn't believe that either, did you? I'm procrastinating wildly to avoid deciding what to do on the sleeve and whether or not I should put in a second life-line. But hey, at least I'm still making actual progress on the sweater. This has to get done sooner or later, and this way there will be less to tidy up at the end.

I have all the extant ends woven in, and 4 of the 9 buttons sewn on. I will knit fearlessly, but when it comes to things like sewing on buttons, I'm back to feeling like a 7 year old trying to sew something for her teddy bear. I don't think my skills at that have much improved, either. But it ought to do.

OK, I'm a total knitting dunce, but since my SO is at least as avid a knitter as you, I'll ask in self-defense: What's a lifeline when it comes to knitting?
