Mermaid's sleeve
I passed the half way mark on the first sleeve. I was very happy to reach the two blue ridges. 
As Yuki commented the other day: You must possess a deep well of patience and endurance to get through all those rows of garter stitch! Though Mermaid is certainly a beautiful design-- is that how you forgive her repetitiveness? Or perhaps it is the shaping that maintains the interest?
The shaping is indeed interesting, but now that I'm working on the sleeves which are mostly done in only one color, I realised the striping on the body made it go faster as well. The sleeves have shaping in almost every row, but in all white it seems to going very slowly.... [By the way, do check out Yuki's blog, Cosmopolitan Purls. She makes lovely things and shows them in the most beautiful pictures.]
Panter checks out Mermaid's sleeve. I think she approves.

saartje, ik wil je wat vragen en ik ben je mail kwijt dus dan maar even zo, ik wil graag de das en de wanten met de baltische motieven breien uit Handwerken zonder grenzen 133, mijn vraag aan jou is met wat voor soort wol zal ik dan doen, sokken heb ik wel eens gebreid met opalwol maar iets fijners lijkt me mooier, met welke wol brei jij bij voorkeur je wanten?
groet, caren
