February Sleeves

Since my last post I have knitted about 1 1/2 sleeves on Lady February Sweater. My intention from the beginning was to lengthen the sleeves. I thought the nice warm yarn is better suited for winter wear and I prefer long sleeves.
My next thought was to decrease the sleeve width. I also wear a coat in winter and did not think it would be easy to squash a wide sleeve into the sleeves on my coat.
I surfed around on Ravelry and looked at different Lady February's and saw a few with shaped sleeves.
I did my own version of the decreases. In total I decreased two repeats. I am happy with the result so far.
Yes I will finish the body once both sleeves are done. The whole things twists around while I knit round after round on the sleeves.

Meanwhile Miss T is busy with her own thing.
Sitting in her downstairs toy basket is just one of the things.
It still amazes me how she can squeeze herself into tiny spaces.
Perry the cat, likes to nap in one of our beanbags.
Miss T makes sure he has some of his toys with him.
It is cold and wet today, not much fun outside.
Apparently the weather forecast predicts gale storms over the weekend. Oh what fun!
Hey, time to spend indoors and knit ;)
