Feeling Calmer

Now that the party planning is out of the way, our vacation is out of the way, and things are falling into place at work I'm starting to feel a bit calmer... of course this sleeve could have something to do with it as well!

I've been sneaking in a row here or there on my Sirdar cardigan in Rowan Calmer and finally got through one sleeve. Inspired by Colleen, Alison, and Paula, I checked my row gauge as well as my stitch gauge and found that I was getting 36 rows to 4" rather than 28 called for in the pattern. Um, that seems like a big difference to me! Again, inspired by these women, I recalculated the increases for the sleeve and decreases for the sleeve cap and all should fit together now for seaming, (assuming I remember to change the armholes on the fronts and the back too! First things first though, I cast on for the second sleeve and I'll get them identical before I forget what I did and can't interpret my notes! Ahhh calmer.
