One Sleeve To Do

I have made the back and one sleeve of the yellow cardigan. I don't make step bindoffs on the top of the sleeves but do short rows instead. When the short rows are finished, I do a row across them all, then I take the stitches off onto a knitting needle and bind the cap off neatly but sort of loosely so that the stitches do not pull in. The shoulders are also short rowed and will be seamed with a double needle bindoff. It took me about 2 hours to knit both pieces, but I wasn't working on it steadily.

I hear it was snowing many inches up in the Sierras. Maybe we will not have so bad a drought after all...
