There's a bright side to everything, and that includes breaking down. Thanks to the extra knitting time afforded me by the break down I was able to finally finish the first sleeve on the sweater I am knitting.

As I am just making this thing up ass I go instead of following a pattern it's not surprising that things don't come out exactly as intended, and this sleeve is no exception. I discovered that instead of doing two decreases every siz rounds to taper the sleeve I should have been doing two decreases about every five rounds.

I know that doesn't sound like much of a difference, but it is. When the sleeve got ddown to the length where it was getting close to time to start the cuff the sleeve was still a little too big around. I decided to do two decreases every other round for a few inches just to rapidly bring it down some. I then stepped the needle size down a bit more than normal to start the cuff, and then stepped it way down again to finish the cuff. It seems to have worked and it came out ok even if not exactly the style I had in mind when I started.
