Doing the sleeves with magic loop… which is a bit annoying honestly

im rly loving this sweater so far but working on it in the summer heat is HARD haha

also im worried doing the held double is making it WAY too thick… sort of debating if I should unravel the entire thing and restart with just holding one strand…

does anyone have thoughts on this?

Like 2 weeks ago I decided to undo the ends of the sleeves to make them a bit longer, I added about 2 inches to each, and then did 11 rounds not including the k2tog for the ribbed on the end of the sleeves to also make them a bit longer. I just finished that today and I think it fits a ton better now! yay
