Fluff Nugget Progress (12)

I’ve knit a few more rounds of this sleeve, but I think I’m still feeling the frustration of sleeve island. At least it is longer than it looks. I tried it on and it already reaches past my elbow. The pattern calls for knitting this fairly long, to create more of a balloon sleeve. I am probably going to shorten it up quite a bit because I don’t want so much volume. Apparently lots of other folks who knit this pattern in a different yarn than what is called for (like I’m doing) have ended up with their sleeves growing a ton when blocked. So I’m going to check again after ten more rounds or so, to try to avoid getting gigantic sleeves.
