That’s the goal for my Garter Yoke Cardigan, and it looks like I might make it!
I’m leaning towards a bracelet sleeve length — longer than three quarter, but not so long that the cuff will get in the way of knitting and working. Also, there’s something about a slightly shorter sleeve on me that at least makes me feel like I’m a bit more put together (even if it is only in my head.)
When I tried on the sweater before starting the sleeves, I was concerned that the sleeves were going to be a bit baggy. The pattern calls for knitting the sleeves straight to the cuff — no shaping — so I decided that instead of playing with decreases, I’d just go down a size and use size 6 dpns. (It didn’t hurt that I could actually reach these needles from where I was curled up on the couch at the time…)
I’m really happy with how the first sleeve is fitting, and I think it is time to start digging around for buttons!
I might not post again before heading home for Thanksgiving, so I hope your holiday is filled with people you love and food you enjoy! (And maybe some time to rest and knit.)

The sweater is turning out beautifully. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
The sweater is looking great! Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels.
It looks wonderful! I like your sleeve length idea. Happy Thanksgiving!
The colored yoke is even more lovely now than when you started this. And I love the way you decided to make the change in your sleeves. Arms distance knitting supplies = good times.
wow, Amy this is looking really nice.
I agree: it’s looking super cute! Sleeve lenghts are key to feeling pulled together, why I do not know.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, my new blog friend! Your sweater is great, and every time I see it I start wanting one….
it looks great! you’ll be done in no time!
Your cardi looks terrific!!
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving. :)
You’ll definitely make it! The fit is looking great and I think your sleeve mod was spot on. What a great idea, just going down a needle size. No recalculations necessary!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Lookin’ good!!!
