Remember the sleeves, honey.
In a quest to end the horror that is garter stitch lace, I am compelled to share my modified Remembering Honey sleeves.



Wavy Border - Harmony Guides 250 Knitting Stitches - Volume 2
Cast on 13 stitches.
Row 1 (and all odd rows): k2, p across to last two stitches, k2
Row 2: sl1, k3, yo, k5, yo, k2tog, yo, k2
Row 4: sl1, k4, sl1, k2tog, psso, k2, (yo, k2tog) twice, k1
Row 6: sl1, k3, sl1, k1, psso, k2, (yo, k2tog) twice, k1
Row 8: sl1, k2, sl1, k1, psso, k2, (yo, k2tog) twice, k1
Row 10: sl1, k1, sl1, k1, psso, k2, (yo, k2tog) twice, k1
Row 12: k1, sl1, k1, psso, k2, yo, k1, yo, k2tog, yo, k2
Row 14: sl1, (k3, yo) 2 times, k2tog, yo, k2

I did 6 repeats and bound off. I picked up stitches along the inside of the garter stitch border (had I planned it better, there would have been no garter stitch border on one side, but it ended up looking fine regardless). I did decreases in order to arrive at the proper sleeve stitch count and proceeded as normal from there.

Current count: back finished, two sleeves done, and about five inches of the front complete. Might we have an FO this week?
