Now that I’ve split for the sleeves on this project, the body is fairly straightforward. I just need to remember to place buttonholes in the correct places as I go. While it’s not as simple as garter stitch, it is still quite relaxing, and I’ve memorized the cables and stitch repeats.
Each repeat is 4 rows, which is approximately ½ inch in length. I figure I can work on one repeat a day, and have the body finished in about a month.
